Here's another possibility with just two modes: \relative [optional pitch] {…} \octave [obligatory pitch] {…} And then just use \octave c {…} instead of \absolute {…}. In most cases one would simply use plain {…} for absolute-entry and would only need to use \octave c {…} when embedding inside \relative {…}. (Hmmm… I think I prefer this approach over the others.) -Paul _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
