From <URL:http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/writing-pitches#relative-octave-entry>: If no octave changing mark is used on a pitch, its octave is calculated so that the interval with the previous note is less than a fifth. This interval is determined without considering accidentals. _Without_ _considering_ _accidentals_. This is stressed again later: As explained above, the octave of pitches is calculated only with the note names, regardless of any alterations. Therefore, an E-double-sharp following a B will be placed higher, while an F-double-flat will be placed lower. In other words, a double-augmented fourth is considered a smaller interval than a double-diminished fifth, regardless of the number of semitones that each interval contains. That means that you _can't_ figure out relative mode by listening to the Midi. The note _names_ are what determines the intervals here, not the audible intervals. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
