Demonstrably untrue. I’ve witnessed and been involved in *lots* of discussions
where users type one thing and get another and ask about it, \relative mode
being only one obvious example. In fact, one might argue that *the vast
majority* of the issues posted to this list would fall under the rubric “I
typed X and expected Y but got Z instead — why?”.

Of course!

Do you have an actual, implementable suggestion that can be discussed? If so, I
haven’t seen it yet — only vague “it would be nice”s.
And, of course “patches are always gratefully accepted”.

Which are those, exactly? Transposing chord names?
Thanks,
Kieren.
