The current way in Biab with dialogs and entering values is based on the DOS days where things involved entering amounts with the keyboard in dialogs. You need an easy way to visually do things, that's why we got "Windows" and a mouse. You can adjust visually to the bar or beat. Change sections instantly. This gives an instant visual representation with the instrument name also.
Like Loops you need to go into dialogs rather than just drag n drop into the timeline where you want it.
Even now with drag n drop audio import it brings up a dialog, I don't want to type in where I want it to go.
