+Common octave marks can be entered just once on a reference pitch
+after @code{\fixed} placed before the music. Pitches inside
+@code{\fixed} only need @code{'} or@tie{}@code{,} marks

Music Glossary:
Identifying middle C with @code{c'} is quite basic, so finding
octaves of @code{c} tends to be straightforward. If your music
starts with @code{gis} above @code{c'''}, you'd write something
-like @code{\relative @{ gis''' @dots{} @}}
+like @code{\relative c''' @{ gis' @dots{} @}}
@item an octave of the first note inside
-Writing @code{\relative @{ gis''' @dots{} @}} makes it easy to
+Writing @code{\relative gis''' @{ gis @dots{} @}} makes it easy to
determine the absolute pitch of the first note inside.
@item no explicit starting pitch
-This (namely writing @code{\relative @{ gis''' @dots{} @}}) can be
-viewed as a compact version of the previous option: the first note
-inside is written in absolute pitch itself. This happens to be
-equivalent to choosing @code{f} as the reference pitch.

Here is the relative mode shown in action:
@end lilypond
When @code{\relative} blocks are nested, the innermost
-@code{\relative} block applies.
+@code{\relative} block starts with its own reference pitch
+independently of the outer @code{\relative}.
@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
}
@end lilypond
-One consequence of these rules is that the first note inside
-@code{@w{\relative f}} music is interpreted just the same as
-if it was written in absolute pitch mode.
