Describe the feature/enhancement

Useful for especially long books/classics/bibles with alternative reading schemes or plans.

Examples:

Bible: Lectionary readings (there are lots of different lectionaries where different passages are read each day)
Reading Assignments for School: Books that must be completed within a semester/quarter/year or across semesters/quarters/years

The way I came across this use case is that I am reading the Pilgrim's Progress, which doesn't really have official chapters exactly, and so every publisher seems to add their own bookmarks. Meanwhile, I am assigning the reading for two students, one who is to complete it in 72 weeks and the other in 36 weeks, so I have created different "chapter" divisions for them manually.

It would be nice to be able to switch between chapter schemes without having to have 3 copies of the audiobooks. but just 3 cue files in the audiobook directory.

2327 is closed bc of limitations of CUE files, but those limitations are arbitrary. Some players/libraries enforce the 99 (chapter) index limit, and others do not.
