OK!!! Thank you. So here's the problem with the interface as it currently stands... there is NO VISUAL FEEDBACK when you try to move a stop vertically. There's no way to know that vertical motion isn't completely ignored. Please consider making this more neophyte-friendly. (I honestly can't think another program I've ever used that behaves like this: if I pick up an object and its movement is constrained to one dimension, I don't expect that the software is actually taking note of motion in the perpendicular direction. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that the user will understand what's happening in the current interface.)
