Agreed! And since most of the music I write is my own — and hence closer to
Crumb than Compere — absolute mode almost always wins the day.

There were, some time ago, enough problems with these functions interacting
with relative mode and chords (cf. the archive thread between David K. and
myself) that I’d rather not fix what isn’t currently broken. ;)

You’d think so… but it was that ridiculous problem with those functions +
relative mode + chord notation that finally camel-strawed me.
Look, I’m glad others like \relative mode.
I just won’t use it — I’ve been burned far too often — and won’t recommend it
to others.
Cheers,
Kieren.
