Comment #4 on issue 4371 by address@hidden: examples need explicit \relative  
c'' {} to copy and paste correctly
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4371

Re #3: of course the point of @lilypond[relative=1] is to hide the  
\relative.  I just don't think it is a good idea to do that in general  
because it makes it harder for people to reproduce the result.   
Particularly if they are no fan of \relative.

For semi-simple examples like \absolute c' { c4 e g c g e c2 } I find the  
input
c4 e g c g e c
quite more comprehensible than
c4 e g c, g' e c

At any rate, I was proposing to do this sort of hiding mainly when the  
example was so simplistic that it would have worked equally well with some  
\relative or (octave-transposing) \absolute incantation.

Yes, that would be a change in policy.  Do we need an absolute=#  
incantation to LilyPond-Book to accompany the relative=#?  Not for meeting  
this policy to the letter (because once \absolute differs from any  
\relative, it would be either \absolute c or spelled out).  It could still  
be nice to provide.
