Well, I've indeed some problems using relative mode with my chaconne
experiment. But whenever it becomes too complicated, I break the music
into very short sequences (sometimes only one bar¹), so I can see where
one polyphonic voice ends (and wether to apply octave switches to the
start of the next polyphonic voice).
I guess I'd even less problems when using the part combining feature. But
that would require me to refactor the 602 lines of LilyPond code I've
done allready :-)²
Maybe I'll try that when I've finished the current challenge (that
cadenca problem I noted some days ago, which I've found a quick hack for).
Ciao,

¹) What's the correct word: bar or measure? The glossary mentions both.
²) Hey, any Eclipse/Java hackers around? What about a LilyPond plugin
for Eclipse, with refactoring support?
