This would look somewhat like
Tracker issue: 3245 (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3245)
Rietveld issue: 7518047 (http://codereview.appspot.com/7518047)
Issue description:
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. Also contains Document
\relative { ... } behavior And it is currently rebased on the code
for issue 3231 to make it testable. Once issue 3231 passes into
master, this patch will get reduced in size.
