Perhaps I'm missing something here, but...
When in relative mode, you use ' and , to notate a range more than a fourth:
bass = \notes \relative c, {
e2.
g
a
c4. g'4.\4
fis
e
}
The second g is an octave higher than the first g. The f sharp is a half step
down from that (once you move up an octave, you stay there until using ' or , to
change octaves again).
