Hello,
I'm not sure this is the right place where to post this kind of question.
I try :-)

Is it possible to insert an annotation *before* the first move in a variant?

It would be useful/nice because it can help in make annotations more readable.

To be more clear, I'd like to obtain the following PGN scheme:

1.e4 e5
    ( {If the Black tries} 1...Nf6 {the opponent may reply with}
    2.e5 )
*

but, as far as I know, using the comment editor of the GUI, it is
possibile just to have the following one:

1.e4 e5
    {If the Black tries}
    ( 1...Nf6 {the opponent may reply with}
    2.e5 )
*

I think that in some cases, once "rendered", the first form may result
more readable.

BTW: the only way I found to insert an annotation between the "(" and
the 1st move of the variation is:
* copy the current PGN into the clipboard (ctrl+c in the pgn move)
* paste it in the textarea of the form the comes out with the
Tools->Insert one PGN game (Ctrl+Shift+I)
* move/insert the annotation in the right place (in my case between
the "(" and the first move of the variation) by editing directly the
PGN source

Is there (already) a smarter and quicker way to do that from the GUI
(commenti editor)?
I think it could be a useful feature for a future version (e.g. by
right-clicking on a move, in the menu could appear two choices "Add
comment before" and "Add comment after" instead of just "Comment
editor").
It is just an hint, of course.

Thanks in advance.
Bye, Alex.
