I compose in \relative mode, and my practice is to use \resetRelativeOctave at the beginning of every new phrase. It is a lot of characters to type, but I've found that creating unnecessary aliases makes code harder to read and libraries harder to maintain.
I even use \resetRelativeOctave at the beginning of a \relative block, just for consistency. It is much easier to deal with \relative mode when you only have to look to the line directly above the music to see the octave setting, rather than the beginning of a code block. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Is-there-a-short-way-of-forcing-a-particular-octave-tp198225p198396.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
