Comment #35 on issue 3229 by address@hidden: Use \relative without explicit  
starting pitch in the docs
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3229#c35

Issue 3229: Make \relative { ... } interpret the first pitch as an absolute  
one

The previous default of \relative { ... } being \relative c' { ... }
made c' more special than warranted.  Having to write
\relative f { ... } for this functionality seems awkward since f
serves no musical function but just happens to be the middle of the
scale.  Iff the scale is the standard scale.  The new definition of
\relative takes care to determine the "middle of the scale" reference
point properly even in the case of non-standard scales.

The conversion rules catch the cases where
a) \relative was used without a pitch argument.  In this case the
   pitch gets turned into c'
b) \relative x''' { ... is being used, with x''' being an arbitrary
   pitch and ... is a number of patterns where convert-ly can detect
   the first actual note reliably.

If the file contains \include or \language with a non-c-using notename
language, everything is left in place.

However, this exception is disabled in this commit as it is not
required on the LilyPond code base itself.
