It's not a bug in mudela-book. Some time ago someone changed music written in
\mudela{...} to be \relative c (not me :-), and I think it should stay this
way, when you get used to it, relative mode is very nice.
I will check the documentation to see if it is wrong about this.
It is possible to define your own comand \mymudela{...} that print music that
is not \relative c. It is described in mudela-book.doc, but I can send you a
file to do this if you want.
