The proper name for this would \absoluteWithFixedOctaveOffset, but
that's too long and the acronym is similarly uninspiring.  All three of
the proposed options appear in this name, so the question is, "Which
alludes most memorably to the actual function?".  At the risk of going
round in circles, on reconsidering in this light, I rather favour
retaining \absolute.  The other terms are modifiers to the primary
function; the offset is both apparent and optional, "absolute" is used
in the text and is an established concept.
