Comment #4 on issue 451 by address@hidden: Enhancement: a more flexible  
\parallelMusic syntax when used with \relative
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=451

You can put a \relative around the _uses_ of the identifiers \parallelMusic  
defines, and this will work as expected, with \relative pitches being  
continuously linked in each Voice.

If you want linkage to be consistent in the linear source order (likely  
having to jump up and down when switching voices), you have to write  
something like
\parallelMusic #'(A B C D) \relative c' { ... | ... | ... | ... | }.
At the current point of time, \parallelMusic expects sequential music at  
the top level.  It would be comparatively simple to let it strip one  
initial UnrelativableMusic layer off the music it deconstructs and tack it  
back on afterwards.

If it is worth it to you, add €10 to your bill, and I'll do that.  But I  
think it makes more sense to relativize the resulting music variables  
independently afterwards.
