I think there are clear advantages and disadvantages to both. The main problem I see is the insistence (implicit in the documentation) that relative mode is the best for newbies to start with, and the volume of list posts from newbies having problems with relative mode makes it clear that that is not true. Perhaps if the documentation were make crystal clear, with \resetRelativeOctave used in every example, etc., then I could feel comfortable backing down from my crusade to try to save newbies from the pitfalls we have [unintentionally] laid for them.
Best,

Yes, that's exactly the problem with putting \relative around
constructions rather than the variables themselves, illustrated
by "mover".
