Hi Shane,

> For God's sake don't deprecate \relative

Okay, “deprecation” is a bit strong.  =)

But I don’t even tell newbies about it when I’m introducing them to Lilypond — 
I tried that for a while, and found that overcoming the confusion not worth the 
effort.

> It is far faster to input

I disagree: I find absolute mode far faster for input, and the benefit in 
favour of absolute *increases* the moment I have to do any cutting-and-pasting.

Cheers,
Kieren.
