You have absolute pitch? I don't know about Daniel, but this can be an issue for singers. I don't have absolute pitch, but I do know where certain pitches lie in my voice. This definitely causes me trouble when sightreading a piece written in a different key to the one being played. I remember also singing the bass line to carols, which I've sung every year (several times) for around 50 years, when the only accompaniment was a Bb trumpet playing from scores in C. I had great difficulty pitching the notes because they were not where I had always sung them.
