Show number of beats between markers in waveform overview

[LamprechtHase]

Feature Description

This feature request is kind of related to a new and excellent feature I can't wait to have:
#12994

To make it even more useful, I would love to see the number of bars until the next hot cue (or any other markers like cue or intro / outro points) in the small overview for planning ahead.

I made an illustration how this probably could look like:

I second this, it's a good idea and I didn't know that beats until next market were going to be visible in the waveform. Can't wait to get that running.

With both of them together, this will make planning ahead less of an educated guess (that can sometimes go very wrong at the worst times lol)

Can you please clarify the request:

1. 'beats until next marker' is measured from current play pos
2. the illustration howevere shows the length of each inter-marker section

I assumed you mean 1. ?

I'm not sure if I can answer the question, but I think it's worth expanding on the intuition a little, to provide context.

It's good to know how many beats there are between markers. I use the mix-in & mix-out cues a lot because it tells me how much time the segment is, meaning if I cue up the next track's intro at the start of the current tracks outro there will be some meaningful transition either mid-way through or at the end that I can build up to or otherwise use.

So knowing the number of beats and bars between two points is really useful.

But, sometimes I'll have a bar or two looped while I hone-in the beat and EQ mixing.

And there are some tracks which have extra bars.

When I'm mixing the number of seconds or minutes going past isn't as important, it's a good thing to know as in my head I'm trying to approximate the number of bars and keeping track of them so I know what's in between two markers on one track and the number of bars between two markers on the other track, so I can get the drops or breaks or shifts or whatever lined up easier. But in my head I'm constantly trying to translate that to bars... how many do I have left, do I need to skip ahead 4, 8 or 16 beats...

So I'd say 2. is better - it shows the number of beats between two segments that you've marked out

So, to get to the point I was trying to make.

When I load a track up, I need to figure out an appropriate start point for the next, and there may be several. So on the waveform display up top I can see how many beats until the next point, then I can choose which of the starting points from the next track lines up with what I'm trying to do and gives me a strategy to work with

I mean #2, but didn't express myself clearly, sorry.
