Demonstrably untrue. I’ve witnessed and been involved in *lots* of discussions where users type one thing and get another and ask about it, \relative mode being only one obvious example. In fact, one might argue that *the vast majority* of the issues posted to this list would fall under the rubric “I typed X and expected Y but got Z instead — why?”. > Wouldn't it be nice if it didn't happen? Of course! > What I see is a problem that really occurs, frequently, and could be solved > easily. Do you have an actual, implementable suggestion that can be discussed? If so, I haven’t seen it yet — only vague “it would be nice”s. And, of course “patches are always gratefully accepted”. > And a resistance to solving it in the way that would work, > because that solution would not also solve hypothetical problems that do > not frequently occur Which are those, exactly? Transposing chord names?
