My "doesn't work" crystal ball tells me that you're moving point in the
right buffer but without selecting the appropriate window.

I'd guess it's because the overlay-arrow-position is only set

I'm a big believer in long playlists.  Tho I've been playing with the
idea of compressing playlists to a list of albums to help with that
