> I think done is better than perfect.

IIRC we once had a test build that just marked every 4th beat in a different color, and to my knowledge the testers found that more confusing then helpful because in many cases that beat was not the Downbeat. Hence, you'd also need editing capabilites, too. When you have editing capabilities, you need to store that data, which requires a protobuf format changes and a migration of all existing user beatmap/beatgrid data. This also makes it impossible to downgrade to an earlier version of Mixxx without losing all your beatgrids.

Therefore, we should design the protobuf format properly to not do more backwards-incompatible changes than needed.
