Aw, shucks… ;)

Whew.

Yes. These are two of the many drawbacks of using \relative mode.

It’s a *little* awkward, but \fixed helps:
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.50"
lark = {
\fixed c' { c4 g c' g' }
\fixed c''' { c4 g c' g' }
\fixed c''''' { c4 g c' g' }
}
\score { \lark }
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Cheers,
Kieren.
