using Regions or Markers with continous annotations

[g-no]

I want to use wavesurfer/regions to revise existing annotations of speech. There are no non-annotated regions, i.e. each regions end time is equal to the start time of the following region (except for the last, of course). I thought that it might be easier to work with markers (adding regions without an end time), so I wouldn't have to move two boundaries, but just one.

My general question is, if this idea reasonable of if I should better work with end times and add some code that adjusts the start and end times if one of them has been changed?

My aim is to play the region as precisely as possible.

If you don’t need visual overlays that proper regions provide, then using zero-length markers makes sense.
Moving a neighboring region on resize should be easy too.

Thanks to your answer I now know that I do need start and end because I want to use visual overlays. Is it possible to make the start markers dragable but not the end markers (maybe don't even show them)?

Not at the moment, but we can add this option.

That would be cool!

Actually, I've just published alpha 49 where you can hide the end marker via CSS:

      ::part(region-handle-right) {
        display: none;
      }
