Frescobaldi already offers a tool to convert relative to absolute, and absolute 
to relative :-)

It should be mentioned that Frescobaldi creates converts

        {c'' d'' e'' f'' g''}

to "old style" \relative syntax like:

        \relative c'' {c d e f g}

instead of the new syntax I like to use these days:

        \relative {c'' d e f g}

For relative to absolute conversion Frescobaldi can handle both.
