LUMIERA.clone/src/proc/asset/timeline.hpp
Ichthyostega 1c8cddba84 clean-up visibility of lib::P
this was introduced into namespace mobject and spread from there.
Since the habit is to use more specific typedefs like PClip,
it is preferrable to spell out the full namespace

/** @file timeline.hpp
** Top level structural element within the session.
** Each Lumiera session may contain multiple top level timeline containers,
** which at the same time act as structural asset and as part of the public
** session API exposed to clients for discovering the session contents.
** Actually, Timelines are facade objects, delegating the implementation to
** the BindingMO, the Axis and the Sequences/Tracks.
**
** Contrary to usual habits in video/sound editing software, in Lumiera the
** tracks are \em not part of the timeline, but rather attached directly to
** the sequence container. To be usable, a timeline needs a binding to refer
** to such a sequence, but this sequence may be bound into multiple timelines
** or even virtual clips simultaneously.
**
** Like every structural asset, the creation of timelines happens automatically
** on referral; Timelines can be queried from the StructFactory, providing additional
** requested capabilities. Commonly clients will retrieve a given timeline by query
** on the name-ID of the timeline: \c Struct::retrieve(Query<Timeline>("id(theName)."))
** Additionally, the binding to a specific sequence may be established alongside:
** \c "timeline(theTimelineName),bindSequence(theTimelineName,sequenceID)."
**
** @see Session
** @see Sequence
** @see StructFactory
