Description
Your idea
Change the colours of the timeline music bars, possibly adding an outline, to improve accessibility.
Problem to be solved
At the moment, whether in light or dark mode, normal or high contrast, the squares in the timeline indicating which bars have music are very close in shade to the squares indicating no music.

Research direction
Start at the timeline UI that renders the music and empty-bar squares, and compare its light, dark, and high-contrast states. Done means the two states are clearly distinguishable in all three modes, with any outline consistent with the design.
