Back in the day that was not true. I forgot. I don't know whether it
was before or after the change from <<>> to <>. It is no problem to run
the very simple procedure on each first note of each chord and then
on the rest of each chord before splitting, getting all of the absolute
pitches. Two lines of sed, max, would get the punctuation.
Then split as done already. The point is that all of the information is
there, and it is not necessary to crunch the pitches in any way. It is
not necessary to have any expressions of octave other than ,' and their
absence. Absolute to relative might be more difficult
than the opposite, but I doubt it. I haven't given that any thought.
Looks as simple as subtracting from the next note instead of adding.
