I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, or been

the tritone goes down.
False. LilyPond assumes that the interval is less than a fifth. In
other words,
c fis % goes up
c ges % goes down
Augmented fourths and diminished fifths are *not* the same in \relative
mode.
However, when using it in a chord LilyPond assumes it goes up!
I'm not familiar with chord mode; now that you know how \relative
works, are you certain this is a bug? If so, could you send a small
example that demonstrates it?
I haven't
found any mention of this in the documentation,
incidentally (although it may be there - I haven't
looked that carefully.)
Please look carefully before sending an email. If this info is
lacking, then
