I think it would be better to be able to leave and reenter relative pitch with a colon: a:,, b c d e a:,, b c d e The colon would anchor the note in the designated octave and then relative pitch (to it) would resume on the next note. This could be especially useful in copying measures for example. It's really strange when two measures that are actually identical don't look identical. 1. It would make the file easier to read *and maintain* instead of more difficult. 2. It requires less typing. 3. It does not require a different mode, it just would make relative mode a whole lot more more useful. 4. It is easy to understand, and it would be easier for beginners to get used to relative mode with the occasional anchor note helping to reduce the number of mistakes. daveA -- D.
