This looks more like the "marker shortcut" feature I've built some time ago (for which I still owe you a patch). Extending the current Quick Marker mechanism would make it a bit cumbersome I think, requiring a new dialog to handle Quick Marker creation, modification, deletion, color selection, etc., just like the current marker editor. At this point I'd rather add to markers the possibility to define a shortcut: I will make a proposal/patch as soon as I'm done with this one. > The little flag is very blocky looking though, and it also draws on top of > any > numbers.

It's more "essential" and less visible, but it's probably better to avoid clashing with bar numbers and markers. I've prototyped it already, and will show you soon the results. > I won't merge this into the stable branch yet, but I see no reason why it > shouldn't get under the door before the release. I'll commit it as soon as it's satisfying enough (now I'm a bit stuck with the fact that I figured out that this mark/flag can be seen in editing windows as well, with unsatisfying look in my opinion). > The string freeze doesn't really apply to the Handbook, and it's > not too late to update it to reflect new or changed behavior.

I really do like these simple but useful things in programs.
