Thank you!

Yes, this kind of operations is planned, but there is one hairy detail: 
changing the base step can cause the relative distances to work out different 
(e.g. in relative mode, c fis goes up, but c ges goes down, but also in 
absolute mode enharmonic changes can alter the octave a note is in, e.g.:
b -> ces).

So the plugin code would need to check this and change the octave of the 
note/chord accordingly. The base infrastructure to do this is already present 
in the frescobaldi code, but it's not yet implemented :-)

best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen
