What Dan highlighted is called the Timeline.

Not only does it act as a progress indicator, but it works in reverse: click within the timeline to go to specific parts of the song. I like having it. This could be one of those requests where some like it, some don't, so it's great you asked for it to be made optional. Maybe add a Show Timeline checkbox in Options, Preferences, Display.

And indeed, welcome.

ps in the old GUI (pre-2018), the Timeline was much more prominent; it was reduced considerably in size to what it is now.
