I think understand what you are saying and this is one reason why I stopped using blocks (well I tried using them but hit a number of workflows I did not like etc.) however I do tend to use blocks at the end of my tracks as then I can have a number of different endings switch between them quickly without having to mute tracks etc.
I think blocks would be more handy if you could overlap them but then you get into issues if you are overlaying or overwriting and priorities etc.

From my point of view and the original poster may also be saying this, it's what I call the overhangs, simple example would be a fade out of an instrument using a fader. so for simplicity, I have 8 bars and in my block, I'm using the first 4 tracks, the first 4 bars have my notes but the last 4 bars I using to fade an instrument out on track 4, in my next block again I have 8 bars using tracks 1,2,5,6 but really I want to butt this up to the part of where in my notes finish in the first block (end of bar 4), but doing so means I lose my fade out, if I was to copy and paste the data out of the blocks it would work, as I said this was a simple example.
