Hi Federico,

I see the second as containing more information encoded directly in the input,
and requiring less to be added by the user.

As far as I know, we are still trying to position Lilypond as useable without a
GUI, and hence without “point-and-click”.
Hence we shouldn’t make decisions on fundamental structure, syntax, and so on
based on hypothetical (or sometimes-real) GUI conveniences.

I, as an engraver, want to know immediately what note I’m working with, without
having to spend the time (in a non-GUI editor) backtracking and calculating the
aggregate octave displacement.
Luckily, I guess, there are both options.
You are free to use the one you find superior (i.e., relative), and I will
continue to use the one I find superior (i.e., absolute).

Regards,
Kieren.
