May I report a personal impression I had reading the "Learning Manual":
In the chapeter "2.5.4 Absolute note names" people are scared off using
absolute pitches. What for? The given example of Mozart can easily be
written with few octave characters - 2 commas - in absolute mode:
{ \key a \major \time 6/8
\transpose c c'' { cis 8. d 16 cis 8 e 4 e 8 | b,8. cis 16 b,8 d 4 d 8 |}
}
On the other hand - did you try to write the second example of "Absolute
octave entry" in the user's guide in relative mode? Tell us - how many
corrections?
\relative c' { \clef treble c 4 c' e, g, d'' d, d, c \clef bass c, c, e'
g' d,, d' d' c }
Choosing different intervals - critical for the octave changing signs to
apply - you could make a practical exercise for interval recognition!
