As there was no discussion, I think I'll implement my ideas posted before. For
the alignments, they'll be dropped totally, but there'll be an offset for
events, so you can still move your alignment to the exact place you want, even
better than before.
I'll start with the implementation this weekend I think, so if you want to add
(or ask, help, ...) something, tell me as far as you can :)
