[QLab] [Qlab] Timeline View

[Kevin Faulhaber]

I like it!

I'd like to add some input on display of levels.  Since each cue and fade
can manipulate any number of inputs/outputs/crosspoints it would be nice to
display selected level controls.  Instead of something like ProTools where
you can only view and edit one automation layer at a time, have a palette
where you can assign visibility and color to any of the available I/O or
crosspoint controls.
