Sure. It allows for more natural language annotation. Something like:

Okay, I got your point. From a developers point of perspective I am not
The comment editor wouldn't need two input boxes. Just a simple radio
button for before or after move.
These types of annotations are very common at the chessbase website,
probably because chessbase makes it easy within the software.
Here's a screenshot of one I just went to their website and fo
Hello,
problem is not what SCID should allow. You want to import commented games
from other formats and they allow it.
It is not so clear what the PGN-Standard says about comments. But its de
facto standard allows comments before and after moves. So when it is used in
games information is
So could someone please paste some PGN example that can't be imported in
SCID without information loss right now?
Than you.

Fulvio can chime in, but I'm not sure it will be easy, since it seems to
involve modifying the SCID format. Moreover, how this gets translated into
PGN is far from obvious to me.
Readability issues also surfaces when you

Of course it is:

[Site ""]
[Date ".??.??"]
[Round ""]
[White ""]
[Black ""]
[Result "*"]
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Bd7 6.Be2 Nh6 7.O-O Nf5 8.Na3 Be7

Nothing easier than that:

[Site "?"]
[Date ".??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Neue Partie eingeben"]
[Black "?"]

[PlyCount "7"]

In the old days (once long ago) the comment editor "cursor" could be

I stand corrected.
One problem I see with writing comments like that in SCID is that you need
to be sure of your line order, for as soon as you reorder them, the text
need to be corrected too.
In general, I advise against writing circumvoluted game commentaries. At
least unti

Yes, and I believe it led to a nighmarish behavior whereby as soon as you
edited the game, the cursor was lost. Considering that correspondence
players such as myself need LOTS of analysis

Hello Fulvio,
you are right, pre move comments make sense only in certain situations. In a
normal case without variations you cannot even decide whether a comment is a
pre- or post move one.
But I can make my point more obvious:
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 {This is a bad move because the
