New issue 3057 by address@hidden: missbehavior of \deadNotesOn in the  
begining of LilyPond code
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3057

the code:

\relative c'' {
  \deadNotesOn a4 cis \deadNotesOff <a cis a' >2
}

doesn't produce dead notes, while in

\relative c' {
  \clef "treble_8"
  \deadNotesOn a4 cis \deadNotesOff <a cis a' >2
}

the dead notes never die!

workarounds:

- start the \relative section with <>
- use \override NoteHead.style = #'cross
- use an explicit voice
