How to create a new note at an arbitrary timeline position?

The only method I found to add a note to a clip is using the setStep() method, which only accept an integer number of step size to position the note on the timeline.
Is there any alternative way to place the note an arbitrary time?

A partial and ugly workaround is to do some math and use the setStepSize() to alter the step size to a tiny value to have a higher temporal resolution for setStep, but it's weak in many ways and it can have detrimental effects on other interactions with the same clip...

you can have more than one cursor clip. ;)

I don't see how using another clip would help in increasing the time resolution.

I eventually discussed the topic inside the Discord. and it was confirmed that the only solution is by using a clip with a high step resolution, and probably increase it even more by making it long and them stretching it.
