This shows it:
\score {
\relative f {
<<
{ c d e f g a b c d e f g a b c }
{ e f g a b c d e f g a b c d e }
>>
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
'e' in second expression is relative to last 'c' in first expression.
But if you always use music from variables and no polyphony inside
them, there is no doubt you control all relativeness:
musicOne = \relative f { c d e f g a b c d e f g a b c }
musicTwo = \relative f { e f g a b c d e f g a b c d e }
\score {
\relative f {
<<
\musicOne
\musicTwo
>>
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This way you do not mix relative mode and polyphony.
