I understand the use of an EDL, mainly through working with Snd and
BC2000. My previous questions to you have been largely answered by
reading the docs again and trying to think like a film editor rather
than an audio editor. The difference might seem small to someone who has
worked in both fields, but all I've ever worked with have been
relatively simple audio tools.

My bad. That one had me stumped in BC2000 until I understood the
difference in approach.
Pardon my ignorance: I'm not a programmer, and I'm trying to hack
something together that's more than I know how to handle. Since Ceres is
quite a different beast from a typical soundfile editor or a
multitracking application, I'm not sure how an EDL might be applied to
it.
