I can certainly imagine a way to take snapshots of the cues' running  
state.  The machinery isn't there to do it right now, but it would  
not conflict with the design of the program to add it.  It'd probably  
be a 1.5 or 2.0 feature, I imagine, along with a macro/template system:

Already done, but not yet released.  If I can get this MOTU work- 
around in place, I'll get back to finishing up the next set of cues I  
want to release, and the Pause Cue will be in that batch.
