The latest dev version (LilyPond 2.19.x) also has a \fixed mode that lets you set a default octave which saves typing, providing some of the advantages of both \relative and \absolute. For example: { \key a \major \time 6/8 cis''8. d''16 cis''8 e''4 e''8 | b'8. cis''16 b'8 d''4 d''8 | } \fixed c'' { \key a \major \time 6/8 cis8. d16 cis8 e4 e8 | b,8. cis16 b,8 d4 d8 | } From: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/absolute-note-names.en.html It looks like \fixed is not mentioned in the changes list yet: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/changes/index.html Cheers, -Paul _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
