+mode. In most cases, relative mode will be more convenient.

-In some languages such as Norwegian and Swedish, the usual
-spelling for accidentals is a double @q{s} such as in @code{ciss}
-or @code{cess}. For both historical reasons and a greater
-simplicity, LilyPond uses a single @q{s} for all these languages.
