Milestone item should be indented (when in a group)

[ImpossibleWorks]

Hi there.
In the editor screen, I would love to request the "Milestone" item to be indented/left aligned with all the events within a Group.

Currently it sticks out and is aligned with the group
Thanks!

Example of what I'm seeing:

Hi!

The indentation as you suggest was actually part of the design for all the betas (or most of anyway)
The user feedback at the time was that - since this is an entry which does not generate timers (which we have been calling metadata events - it was more expressive and consistent if it broke the flow the way you see now

I guess this is widely subjective and also depends on how you are leveraging milestones.

I will leave this open so user can chime in but for now my opinion is that the annoyance the change would cause is not being outweighed by any benefits I can see at this time.

Perhaps another way to think about this is how I (some others must as well) need an event type that allows for non-time cues. I for one am using OnTime for much more than a timer app, as I put in all my cues into this and reference the cuesheet as a full cue stack.

Here's where it gets tricky. Take, for example a series of cues:

• [0 time] Voiceover: "Please welcome to the stage, John Doe"
• [15 mins] Presentation by John
• [0 time] Demo video plays, when John calls for it

John has 30 minutes (which includes the voiceover and the video play), so I use "Milestone" as non-timed cues. It doesn't cut into John's time and it also makes it easy to link time to the next real event.

So I guess, I don't use "Milestone" as intended, but do have a strong need to add in non-timed cues. So. If others use true "milestones" for something, perhaps we have yet another event type called "non-timed event" or whatever makes sense. That way we can add in cues that need to happen in the middle of an event.

Make sense?
