You don't need to use \relative if you are more comfortable with
absolute pitches.

Ok. I suck at reading staff lines. I come from braille music where th eoctive
signs are given to me and I sing or play badly the correct pitches based on the
octave mark.
I'll try and give this mental thing a go since I bass in treble anyways around
middle c so that might or might not help. l
In relative, a note with no ' or , indicates the closest octave, e.g. for
adjacent notes
a b means the B one note above whatever A it was,
d c means the C one note below whatever D it was,
Effectively this means that using no ' or , will always produce a note
within a fourth of the previous one

Think of it in terms of staff lines or spaces: a note within a fifth of
the previous note doesn't need ' or , to get the correct pitch, with

Well I'm used to writing numbers as my theory person had us do for our key
board tests so I see c4 and think, Oh middle c on the piano. so that's how I
interpreted it in the docs as a middle c not a quarter note. I also
misinterpreted the ' symbol to mean a single quote so it literally did mean

Oh the docs messed up. lol! It was in the notes reference guide at the octave
checks section.
Here is the example they gave.
\relative c'' {
c2 d='4 d
e2 f
}
so I followed the directions unless I just red it wrong. lol! whichI probably
did as I was rushing to get the assignment done. lo

I assume you're a pianist? I'm not. So a piano-centric naming scheme
would be of no use to me

Hello all,
Just thought I'd put my 2¢ in here…
In the last year alone, I have Lilypounded two stage musicals, a chamber opera,
and about a dozen smaller pieces, with a range of styles from Alan Menken to
Arnold Schoenberg. So I believe I can qualify as someone who has entered
