No, the behaviour is perfectly correct.
If you enter in \relative mode, lilypond interprets as following:
- reference point is c,
- first note is g, relative to c, -> first one fourth below
and then one more octave below
- The following notes are each one octave lower than the
previous ones
Read chapter 1.2.1 (Simple notation) of the Learning Manual for more
information.

G'day everyone,
I've been reading this list for some time, but this is the first time I post something.
I'm the bass player with a bigband, and I want to use Lilypond mainly to convert some of the sheet music I'm getting into something more useful.
Anyway, the first installation was somewhat MacGyver-ish - I used the sources from the lilypond web site and the makefile from the FreeBSD ports tree, which was for the development branch at the time. That was because I couldn't, and I still can't, get lilypond to build from the FreeBSD source package - obviously the configure script fails to produce a proper Makefile.
But, alas, a few weeks ago the ports maintainer decided to switch to the stable branch, which is good for me. So I installed, dug up the old .ly files, and went bonkers :-)
\version "2.14.1"
\header {
title="A Buggy Day"
composer="Gershwin Brothers and sisters"
}
%\relative c,
{
\time 2/2
\clef bass
\partial 4.
r8 r4 \bar "||"
r8\f g,4.->~g,2 r8 g,4.->~g,2
}
This works perfectly well, but when I uncomment the "\relative c,",
something breaks. With more notes following, the whole thing goes way down low, way beyond the hearing range. 8-o
Now of course I'd like to know whether this is just a mistake I made, or if I found a bug.
Regards,
Frank
