does this help?

I wrote it for Darius a while back, but maybe we should add it to the 
standard .ly include ?


resetOctave  =
#(def-music-function
   (parser location reference-note)
   (ly:music?)

  (let*
   ((notes (ly:music-property reference-note 'elements))
    (pitch (ly:music-property (car notes) 'pitch))

  )

   (set! (ly:music-property reference-note 'elements) '())
   (set! (ly:music-property reference-note
      'to-relative-callback)
      (lambda (music last-pitch)
       pitch))

   reference-note
   ))


\relative c' {
  c d e
  \resetOctave c''
  b
}
