In the relative octave section, paragraph beginning "When octaves are specified", I suggest we replace "as above" with "in absolute mode", "put a pitch" with "put a single pitch", and "prevents" with "reduces". This should clarify the intent of the paragraph, and the advantages of relative mode.
Under "automatic accidentals" the second paragraph is missing a ")" somewhere. Is it worth mentioning that LilyPond will not place accidentals on tied notes _except_ when the tie crosses a line break? (As an aside, does anyone know of a way to parenthesize the accidental in that case?) Also, I love the Beethoven excerpts. Very classy touch. -Andrew On Jan 13, 2008 5:10 PM, Graham Percival <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm still seeking comments on NR 1.1 Pitches.
