Y totally agree, that's what I had in mind.

Nice idea! I'll also add the possibility to change the default colors in
the whislist (extra features).

Didn't think about that. Totally agree. I'll add this to the proposal. I'll
think how to handle invalid times, like a loop with the end point before
the start point.

I excluded this feature because it doesn't allow to move a cue point across
pages. Well it can be done by triggering a page change when a cue is
dragged over the page indicator. I'm ok with adding this to the wishlist.

I'm not sure what you mean with that. Do you mean to move the position of a
cue point by dragging its waveform mark? If that is the case, that's what I
describe in *2.2.1 Draggable marks to move cue points*, maybe I did not
explain it clearly enough? I see I omitted the possibility to also drag in
the waveform overview besides the detail waveform, I'll include that.

Sure! I'll also group them in a blueprint.

I like this solution. But I will still leave this as an extra feature.
Although very useful, I feel that it's not core to the proposal and the
other features need to be implemented first.
Thank you both for your comments. I really feel they are on point and I
like the direction this is taking!
