Horribly unfeasible -- the data are stored as a singly linked list. Going back would require searching forward from the beginning.

I thought as much, thanks for the answer. Would built-in "search" methods be any faster than what I describe (dumping all pointers, [get]ting and [sel]ecting looking for one with a particular value)?
Maybe you can use an array field to store your events instead? You can index this by an integer.

This was on the "tip of my brain" : ). Thanks for prodding me into it, I'm trying it out now and I'll let you know how it goes. It will also be a natural fit to adding "note layers" that can be toggled on and off or manipulated individually, so that's cool too.
As an aside, I'd like to start a "ds-abs" collection soon to go alongside list-abs. I've got a few in SVN that I'll be splitting out soon, and it would be great if anyone wants to contribute more.
Cheers Luke
