I am somewhat unhappy with the concept behind the new default use
being \relative {...} without qualifier as it mixes absolute and relative
pitch writing within the bracket. At least as it is explained.
No change to new functionality but different explanation,
the new \relative {...} would be equivalent to \relative f {...}
(or do I overlook some subtle issue in case of nested use or transposition?)
hence all notes within { } could be interpreted as relative notation...

I wonder if a such change would be welcome, as it is slightly surprising.
