Yes, \relative is a nice environment, but often one forgets to add correct
number of commas and apostrophes, which later on has to be corrected.

In order to test whether or not it is more intuitive to write music by
using Big Letters in note names, I tried just to change "suomi.ly" by
adding an entry there (it did not work):

\pitchnames #`(
        ...
        (c . ,(make-pitch -1 0 0 ))
        ...
        (C . ,(make-pitch -1 -7 0 )) % a Big Letter note
        ...
)
