LilyPond _does_ still support the old \relative syntax with an absolute
pitch prefixing the music, but it no longer supports the feature that
has been deprecated for 7 years.

Perhaps your pre-processor or a simple editor will be able to change
all instances of "\relative" to "\relative c'", assuming you have used the
deprecated syntax consistently.
