The new patch (awkwardly) has \absolute c'' and \absolute g'' mean
exactly the same thing.
My reason for that was to present less of a surprise if someone used
\absolute g'' {g ...} wanting to start on G5, i.e., g''.
\absolute c' has no meaningful difference to \transpose c c' except
being shorter, and less scary. Making it incapable of 'transposing'
keeps it less scary.
This indeed warrants some more opinions. Anybody want to ask on the
user list?
A few times people brought up \transpose c c' {...} as a useful method
of music entry, but people went on to suggest other entry methods that
didn't seem to me to be any easier

In a thread complaining about \relative, I suggested the \absolute 3 {}
variant, also without much interest.
