Octave changing marks are used for intervals greater than a
fourth:

\relative c'' {
c g c f, c' a, e'' c

A note sequence without a single octave mark can nevertheless span
large intervals:

\relative c {

}
following note or chord. Inside of chords the next note is always
relative to the preceding one.

-Note that 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.
