I guess I didn't understand your proposal then, or you changed it and I
missed it. Sorry. I'm happy to withdraw my characterization of it
having the disadvantages of both, etc.. To quote:
"So »c d e d c« and »c d' e' d, c,« would mean the same thing."
But that doesn't matter. A \relativetwo statement or something could
select it and it could still be entered with the colon, because anchor
notes would make \relativetwo more usable as well. As things are, I
find relative mode unusable. Anchor notes might change that for some
scores.
An editing tool to transform relative(s) to absolute would be a good
thing, IMHO. I wouldn't know how to write one. That is the only way
to truly have *all* of the advantages of both relatives and absolute
and the disadvantages of none. daveA
