I have looked at the list archives, and discovered some previous
postings on a similar topic, about "elapsed time." Perhaps I can be
more specific.

I have been taking notes on videos, and need a relative clock
function, starting when I start the film.
A post by Adam Speirs made a useful suggestion in response to a
question by Alan Dove:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2007-07/msg00338.html
In particular, he posted three functions. I have gotten them to
work, they are simple. I am uncertain how they interact with Org
Mode, whether they work in a harmonious fashion with the clocking
code in org mode.
Times inserted like this will not interact with the clocking
feature - probably just what you want in this case.
I didn't figure out how to turn off the clock! So I rebooted
when I needed to restart. I could edit his functions and insert
exactly what I need.
Why would you want to turn off the clock? It is actually
not running, only a starting time is recorded. Just "start"
it again when you need a new clock.
I liked them because they don't require me to diddle around with
properties and drawers, with which I am yet somewhat uncomfortable.
I agree, for this application you don't want this. Just a hot key to
insert the time,
or even a full headline or plain list item with the time included.
A further suggestion is born or my initial experiment with his
function: I started the clock a bit too late, so all the timestamps
are off by about 30-40 seconds. Is it (at least in theory) possible
to adjust all time stamps in a subtree by the same amount? That
would enable me to correct all of my notes in one fell stroke.
Of course this is possible, but code for that would need to be written.
