Does anyone have any references to online notes for gen rel that use
modern, coordinate-free notation? The library is a bit inaccessible at
the moment, so any links would be appreciated.

See Wald's book. But I think that you ought to evaluate what you
thinkthat the "modern, coordinate-free notation" is doing for you. See
Wald's
book also. You're just replacing coordinate dependent components with
slots in a linear multi-argument function. If you actually have to do an
experiment, you have to define a coordinate system to measure the results

in. You have to define what the slots mean which means picking a
coordinate
system.
