Not readily doable since there is no separate operation of tracking the
last pitch and turning music into relative.

I recommend taking a look at \resetRelativeOctave instead. If you write
\resetRelativeOctave a''
_separately_, it will not typeset any music but have the desired effect.
I find that it is essentially not documented at all.
