I like this idea, as it makes the input a bit cleaner.

For those of us who are used to the old way, it may seem confusing, 
since we are used to think that all the notes inside the relative block 
are relative to the absolute note _outside_ the block.
But this new idea looks straightforward to me and I think that new users 
will understand it immediately.
