Two items, both regarding Tap timing

Hi folks,
Love Freestyler...use it all the time. But, I've got a couple small issues that I think could be easily fixed:
A) Let's say I have a tap trigger going from the previous song (I work with live bands.) Then, let's say the next song starts. Often, I try to pre-set the tap as best I can, but I never know exactly when they're gonna start, so often it is off a little. Then, let's say when they start the song, I trigger a cuelist. FS waits for the next tap trigger before it starts the cuelist, so I miss a few beats. I think it would be better if FS, when I trigger a cuelist, just starts the cuelist right then and resets the tap-sequence (at the same speed I already set) and starts immediately. I can get around this by triggering my cuelist and hitting tap almost immediately, but it's a pain in the butt.
B) Most of my cuelists use multiple sequences (for instance, I have a ROYGBIV cuelist that has separate sequences for my moving heads and my back-lighting.) The first time I run them, they stay in sync. But, the second time I run them, they somehow have gotten out-of sync. One starts at step 2 and the other starts at step 3, so therefore, they're no longer using the same colors on the same step. It seems to me that when I start a cuelist, all of the sequences should start at step 1, but they don't do that. Can we fix that please?
Thanks so much!
