I don't have the expertise of the rest of you, but the first thing I did
with Lilypond was give \relative the elbow. It just seemed like a
nightmare way to compose. Ditto duration persistence. All for the sake
of saving a few keystrokes?
Re: the manuals/guides where \relative is introduced as the way to
compose using LP. Presumably, this has come about because most LPers
find this easier, but I for one would have loved an "LP Guide for
Non-relativists". And a guide with all the context in place, too!
That said, LP is an amazing piece of s/w and the community second to
none. Without the help of this list I would have struggled to have my
scores as easy to manage as they are today. Thank you!

this thread reminds me why I gave up using \relative over a decade ago and
never looked back
