-Octaves --  how to do pitches
-
-nsect(DESCRIPTION)
-
-The LilyPond input language, Mudela (help, silly name), should be easy
-to read and write.  In my experience Mudela is already quite convenient 
-for entering music.  Every time I've entered a substantial piece of music, 
-however, I found that I made quite a few mistakes.  The MIDI output helps 
-a lot with locating and correcting the errors.  There's one type of error 
-that seems to be frequent, stubborn and hard to catch, and that's the
-octavation error.  The relative octave feature is an attempt to make
-Mudela a bit easier to write.  In addition, this feature makes it harder 
-to make octavation mistakes, yet if you made one, its a lot simpler to find 
-and correct.
-
-Here's how it works.  
-
-itemize(
-it()forget the old "\octave c';" command
-it()forget the old octave boundaries with octaves c .. c'
-)
-
-You can enter a piece of music in relative mode, by typing
-
-verb(
-    \melodic \relative c { ... }
-)
-
-From then on, the pitch of a note will be the closest to the last one,
-assuming that large intervals are a lot more rare than small ones. 
-Thus, you can enter a scale without using octavation quotes:
-
-verb(
-    c d e f g a b c
-)
-
-the last c being an octave higher than the first.  If you have to
-enter an interval that is greater than a fifth, you must specify
-whether the pitch goes up, using post-quotes:
-
-verb(
-    c c' % octave up
-    c g' % fifth up 
-)
-
-or down, using pre-quotes:
-
-verb(
-    c c, % octave down
-    c f, % fifth down
-)
-
-nsect(CONVERTING)
-
-COMMENT(Old? don't understand  -- jcn
-To convert a piece of music from the old absolute-octave notation to
-)
-To convert a piece of music from absolute-octave notation to
-relative octaves, lilypond provides the bf(-Q, --find-old-relative)
-COMMENT(
-urg, name was changed to 'old-relative'?  It simply helps convert
-from absolute to relative, ie handy for mi2mu output?
-)
-feature to locate all big intervals in your music.
-
-First, edit the .ly file, add "\relative c" to all melodic chunks:
-  
-verb(
-    foo = \melodic \relative c { ... }
-)
-
-and remove all "\octave " commands.  See the example file 
-file(input/test/find-fifths.ly).
-
-Use lily to find the fifths:
-
-verb(
-    lilypond -Q find-fifths.ly 2>&1 | tee fifths
-    ...
-    find-fifths.ly:3:18: warning: Interval greater than fourth, relative: g':
-		  c d c f c g
-			      c b, c g, c f, c c'' c
-
-    find-fifths.ly:3:20: warning: Interval greater than fourth, relative: c,:
-		  c d c f c g c
-				b, c g, c f, c c'' c
-)
-
-Then, load a copy of the original mudela file in your favourite editor, 
-and let it parse the 'error file' file(intervals).  First you remove all 
-octavation quotes.  Then, jumping from warning to warning, you enter quotes 
-as suggested by LilyPond.
