I gather \fixed would have the same effect - I might have to try changing to that because it would probably help avoid me getting stuff going all over the place - I do tend to enter all the notes before I compile and check it so a couple of missed commas or apostrophes results in ledger lines galore :-) If you want to print it with the treble rather than the treble_8 clef, I'd be inclined to enter it in the correct octave with \relative then \transpose it up the octave just for printing.
