I see, so it's more for authoring help. In that case I would regard it as classes and what you have done up there is good. If it gets displayed, that's ok. You could put the blank inside with the etc: <c.glenn> etc</c> for example to cope with the blank issue. I really don't think we need to make up something new for this - it already works as you requested. But I would in addition want line comments, just so you can comment out full cues or leave comments on cues. 0-5 // There really is nothing happening here 5-7 // [happy music] Cheers, Silvia.
