You can drop multiple files at once
Shift moves every cue by the given seconds (negative = earlier); the speed factor rescales all timestamps — use the FPS presets after a frame-rate change.
Each cue of the second file is placed under the first-file cue it overlaps most in time. Timings come from the first file.
