Description

Enhancement for 1.2.x or **later**
I suggest to let the user jump to a selected bar in the project.
A way to do that could be the current **Bar-Beat-Tick** Timer-objects.
https://lmms.io/wiki/images/b/bf/Timer.png
The user could right-click, and mouse-wheel-scroll the numbers/ or drag. When play is pressed, the project would then start at the position accordingly to the chosen values.
Design-wise it would be nice is the color of the numbers changed to another color, when the numbers was right-clicked. That would make the feature more intuitive

Start by examining the current Bar-Beat-Tick Timer objects referenced in the issue and trace how playback chooses its starting position. The linked Timer image shows the proposed interaction; done means a selected bar position can be chosen and playback starts there, with the requested visual feedback.
