I see now that before version 2.12 \octave was used for what is now
\octaveCheck
This seems to have done something related, but subtly different, within
\relative{}

The best choice seems to be \fixed, both for the good fit of the meaning
of the word to the command, and because it is relatively easy to type.
If we allow its reference pitch to be optional, then the relatively new
command \absolute is the same as \fixed with no reference pitch, and we
can document \fixed briefly where we had documented \absolute.
