, not much to talk about. However, look at the left hand: \relative c' { [...] f,,16 ( c'' a c d, c' ) [...] } would become: \absolute { [...] f,16( c' a c' d c') [...] } Now you can see that the three c' are the same in one look, like when you read printe

I guess its partly a matter of what you use Lilypond for. If you are basically encoding music that has already been written then It may well be easiest to use relative entry.

I can see that a solfeggio notation might be useful. as for you remarks on relative pitch information. Some people may find it easier to enter the pitches in this way but it makes the score almost impossible to edit afterwards. NoteEdit exports lilypond scores in this format and the first thing I
