It is also wrong. This just holds for durations. Relative octaves are not tracked in the input, but instead are generated when \relative is called. This is established at the point of time when a music list is getting iterated. If you entered the whole music list "naturally" instead of having music functions and music variables provide bits and pieces, then you get roughly input order, except that after chords, the respective octave for the next element is taken from the first element of the chord. There may be further details. Use occasional octave checks if you tend to get things wrong. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
