Yes.

NO! Instead, use a transposing clef:

  guitarStaff = {
    \clef "treble_8"
    \new Voice { \song }
  }

If for some (unknown!) reason you don’t want to see the "8", use \omit 
ClefModifier.

<Kieren muffles a scream, trying not to point out the multiple list threads 
over nearly a decade where he’s been campaigning against relative mode, and 
been shut down by other people on the list>

Cheers,
Kieren.
