Without thinking: I don't know. Good example.

Without thinking, I know this is an absolute « fes, » because I am
used to \relative f { }, this is good.
But if you are used to \relative c' {} then you get and octave lower
than expected.
Now the problem is, what does absolute « fes, » look like? At the end
of the day, you must think a bit.

This is very good. Thinking is always uncomfortable when you don't want to.
