Yes, so I'm not sure why you cut the helpful lines above the ones
you quoted from my post (that were not my words, however).

The lines were:

… so before employing a cut and paste approach, it might be wise to
convert the source to absolute. (Some composers disagree.) It just
depends on your approach, as every cut involves checking the note
following the cut, and every paste involves checking up to two
notes. This could be trivial, or it could be a showstopper.
