I would like to make the behavior of the playback position pointer, when 
dragging, consistent with the dragging behavior in other areas of rg.  
Right now, the playback position pointer exhibits the following behavior:

Drag - smooth drag
Shift-Drag - sets the loop range
Ctrl-Drag - nothing special

This is not consistent with segments in the composition view and notes 
in the notation editor.  They follow this pattern:

Drag - snap to beat
Shift-Drag - smooth drag
Ctrl-Drag - special feature: copy segment  (nothing special in the 
notation editor)

I propose changing the playback position pointer behavior as follows:

Drag - snap to beat
Shift-Drag - smooth drag
Ctrl-Drag - special feature: set the loop range

Advantages:
1. Consistency with other areas of rg.
2. Snap to beat for the playback position pointer.

Disadvantages:
1. It's different and will trip up the users at first.

Objections?

Ted.
