Hi,

it might not be obvious to strangers to the Helmholtz pitch notation
system [1], but shifting the octave is *not* absolute. So the input
\absolute c'' { c' } for c''' is a contradiction in itself.
That’s why I strongly recommend not to use \absolute for some kind of
non-absolute notation.

Cheers,
Joram
