This logic is unfortunately a bit dodgy. It looked like major label is 
getting called before the minor ones, so I thought I could calculate the 
relative offset for the minor for a more readable display. But after 
scrolling and zooming around timelines some more I can see cases where 
that doesn't seem to be the case.

Please have a play and if you think it is bad they only option will be 
to absolute time for minor labels as well.
