No way to set lead in/out in cue sheet metadata. #864

I can see no way to set lead in/out in the cue sheet metadata block. Preserving lead in/out is critical for some use cases. For example, abcde decoding a single track rip extracts the cue sheet, and uses the lead in/out to compute the Music Brainz disc id. Because abcde does not store the correct lead in/out, it computes the wrong Music Brainz Disc Id, it is unable to retrieve the album meta data like album and track names and cover art.

Methods I tried to store/retrieve lead in/out:

  1. Import a cue sheet with lead in/lead out specified as REMarks (metaflac --import-cuesheet-from=CUESHEET). Then show the cue sheet block (metaflac --list -block-type=CUESHEET) and the lead in/out are not set to the imported cue sheets values. When exporting the cuesheet metaflac generates different values for the lead in/out than the imported cue sheet.

  2. I searched trying to find some vorbis comment field that corresponded to the lead in/out, but could not find any. I looked at Wikipedia, https://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html, and a few other miscellaneous pages that I don't recall now.
