Why

Sometimes it's hard to find the correct timestamp for specific (out of beat) sequences in the Lasergraph DSP Timescript.
There are thrid party tools like Reaper, where you can set specific markers to the the timeline and export them afterwards to a csv-file.
For light shows with the MaLighting GrandMa2, it is common practice to use the exported csv and import it to the console.

I want to adapt this workflow to the Lasergraph DSP.
