Description

Some brighter outline could be used to emphasise the last created (not selected) clip in the Song Editor.
This could be especially useful for seeing if we accidentally created an unwanted B+B clip.

Research direction

Start in the Song Editor implementation and reproduce creating a clip, including an unwanted B+B clip, while another clip remains selected. Determine how the editor tracks the most recently created clip and define the visual behavior for highlighting that clip when it is not selected. Done means the last created clip is visibly distinguished without replacing the selection highlight.
