Re: nested \relative ?

[Saul Tobin]

What is the reasoning behind having smaller relative blocks? Generally I structure my variables as a single \relative block per variable and just use \resetRelativeOctave at the beginning of every passage.

I think what you want here is \resetRelativeOctave.

The best solution depends on many factors around your workflow and the setup of your project, but generally it is recommendable to split things up into smaller \relative {} blocks. It has taken me a long time to get better at this and actually do things like (silly example)

someMusicVariable = {
  \relative { c'4. e8 g4 c | a c8 a g2 }
  R1*10
  \relative { f'4. g8 e4 c | d2 c }
}
