Hi, Forgot to report it before, in my system Ctrl-Alt drag doesn't
work (virtual Lubuntu 20.04 under VirtualBox 6.1.28 running on MacOs
Catalina).
I tried all the key combinations that I can think of: command option
(left or right), control option, adding shift, etc.
However, it would be completely fine for me if there was an option such as:
- select note
- key shortcut to set start playback marker
- select note
- key shortcut to set stop playback marker.

or something along those lines. In that case I wouldn't need to use
the buttons or drag the markers (with the personal bonus that it would
be more similar to the behaviour I'm used to in audio and video
editing, like when setting up a region or similar).

Cheers,
Lib
