That is a concern…

You can always use \fixed. =)

That was certainly my experience — after nearly a decade of using \relative
(despite *many* frustrations around transposing instruments, introduction of
octavation errors via copy-and-paste, etc.), I moved to absolute, and within
about 6 months, I was shocked that I ever worked any other way.

In Frescobaldi, it is quite smooth — essential to my workflow, really.
Best,
Kieren.
