I have two different staffs. Each staff usually has two voices going

that the previous five bars are getting messed up, to varying degrees,
as I add each new bar. It is as if the definition of the "last" note
that the , and ' octavation marks apply to is getting changed on the
fly based on the new input.
Is my procedure wrong? Should I be letting the voices run all the way
to the end instead of starting and stopping them at each bar?
My real question is, how does lilypond define "the last note" when in
relative mode.
