Here's the idea.

1. Define absolute octave syntax with the @-sign (let it be a mnemonic for 
_A_bsolute) to be the syntax for temporarily specifying an ABSOLUTE PITCH 
within a \relative block, such that the next pitch, if it doesn't use the 
@-sign also, is relative to the absolute pitch.

2. Keep \relative X { ... } working the same way as it is (DON'T make 
convert-ly change it around).


What do people think?


Okay, this may be covered by other new facilities, but I remember I had exactly the problem this is intended to solve. I wanted to use a fragment inside a relative block, but the stuff around it messed up the relative octave, so I wanted to be able to specify an explicit octave for the first note of the fragment. (Han-Wen kindly wrote me a little function, which may have become \reset-absolute-octave, I've never used that so I'm not sure about that.)

Cheers,
Wol
