Hi Michał, the order of note properties is: pitch, duration, beaming. Single durations are allowed: c8 8 8 8.
> \relative c' { c[8 d]} These are three notes: c[ -> c4[ (the 8 is not read as duration of this as it comes too late) 8 -> c8 (pitch from last note) d[ -> d8] (duration from last note) > \relative c' { c8[ d]} These are 2 notes: c8[ -> c8[ d] -> d8] (duration from last note) Does this explain it to you?
