\fixed and \relative

[Paul Scott]

Would it be reasonable to have \fixed optionally take it's starting 
point from its first pitch like \relative does?  I jumped on this when 
this feature was added to \relative.  \fixed was the important reason I 
have now switched completely from \relative to \absolute.

Am I missing anything that \absolute does that \fixed doesn't?
Thank you for commenting on this,
