The latest dev version (LilyPond 2.19.x) also has a \fixed mode that lets you set a \
default octave which saves typing, providing some of the advantages of both \relative \
and \absolute.

For example:

{
  \key a \major
  \time 6/8
  cis''8. d''16 cis''8 e''4 e''8 |
  b'8. cis''16 b'8 d''4 d''8 |
}

\fixed c'' {
  \key a \major
  \time 6/8
  cis8. d16 cis8 e4 e8 |
  b,8. cis16 b,8 d4 d8 |
}

From:

It looks like \fixed is not mentioned in the changes list yet:
