Huh, can't say I've heard of \fixed. I always use \transpose c c'',
which seems to have the same effect. It looks stupid in the code, though.
And yeah, absolute mode is a lot easier than relative. If I want to
duplicate a measure, I prefer just duplicating it instead of having to
adjust the octave.

Hi Guy,
Which suggests that \tag used with \relative will never work.
Whether or not your conclusion is technically accurate — others will be more
qualified to confirm or correct — the unpredictability of \relative with \tag
(which I used to use heavily, before finding the edition-engraver) was one of
the principal reasons I abandoned the use of \relative in all my music some
years ago, after almost a decade of using it exclusively. There are many, many
other reasons I'm glad I switched to absolute (and \fixed), but this was a main
one.
You might consider doing the same? Editors like Frescobaldi make it easy to
switch code back and forth between relative and absolute — even so, I've never
found a reason to go back to relative once I've converted any [legacy] code to
absolute. (On rare occasions, I'll use \fixed.). I can say with great
confidence that a measurable chunk of my frustration with Lilypond disappeared
along with \relative.
Cheers,
Kieren.
