Well just to add more fuel to the fire. I am curious how all this will the ability to analyse lilypond scores?
I like the flexibily of the various ways of entering notes, but mostly want to know exactly whats happening. The abc notation idea is that anything within a set octave will always be same. For me setting the octave or octaves of a piece seems the most logical. Mats called this absolute mode, although I didn't see such a mode mentioned in the docs. If there was a way to define a range in advance it would be much cleaner for me. This I guess presupposes a stlye of music I guess. If this is relative or absolute mode I don't really care. I would say that having clear modes would be most helpful. If absolute mode is \transpose I would wish it became \absoulte. And why is this worse or better than relative mode??? As per DA suggestion I personally dont change modes often, I would rather or additionally like an option to add the octave or range to the header \range a - a maybe using a2 - e3 or something like that or a folksong mode with relative mode I find that the brackets are a bother and usually waste a bit of time sorting them out especially if the come near second endings in repeats. In the meantime I will experiment with the absoulte mode idea of Mats and see how it works... my 2 cents.
