\relative doesn't work when using \parallelMusic

[Valentin Villenave]

Hello everybody (well, Hello Graham, mostly :)

this discussion was never added to the tracker; however it is, if not
a major bug, a major annoyance when writing piano music (for example).
I'm refering to
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-03/msg00289.html

Nicolas proposed a workaround, which was never implemented (IIRC it's
been broken for many releases now).

I don't know if there's a way to implement it now, and very few people
seem to use \parallelmusic (maybe because of this bug precisely -- I
would use everyday  it if this was addressed).

As for the minimal example: this doesn't work:

\parallelMusic {
        \relative { a' b c d } |
        \relative {a, b c d} |
}

This doesn't either :

\relative {
        \parallelMusic {
                a' b c d  |
                a, b c d |
}

}

...but most of the subject has been discussed on the thread I mentioned.

Regards,
Valentin
