relative mode quandary with example

2004-01-01 Thread chip 
I am using relative mode to enter notes, and have defined a variable to 
hold a phrase, which contains one ' mark on the first note. When I call 
that variable in the piece multiple times consequitively, it is raised 
an octave each time because of the ' mark. I can't add a , to the last 
note becuase that will lower the last note an octave too low. Is there a 
way to work around this or should I use absolute mode?
The code in question is copied below.
Thanks

The code in question -

interTwo = \notes {
r8 r16 fis' fis4 r gis
ais4 r8 ais gis4 ais
}

It looks like you are answering your own questions but:

How about

interTwo = \notes\relative c' {
r8 r16 fis fis4 r gis
ais4 r8 ais gis4 ais
}
instead?

Try 

interTwo = \notes { 
 \relative c' c {
r8 r16 fis' fis4 r gis
ais4 r8 ais gis4 ais
 }
   }

IIRC, that tends to work.

Thanks, I tried it similarly before posting the original, but backwards 
- I put the relative in front of the notes and it didn't work. Cool, 
that makes that one group relative to that octave, and each variable 
assigned group can have a differant relativity. That helps a lot.
