Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not tied to a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like The single strand always starts is fade at the head of the string. like a comet. I had an idea for a sequence where I wanted to have more of a blend up to bright. I found there was not an easy way to do this consistently for a specific number of cycles

Describe alternatives you've considered Use of bars effect, morph, colorwash etc. I did find that I can get the results I wanted using the static left-right and adjusting the offset to effectively scroll the single strand backwards. This however is very time consuming to align the start and end to beats or existing effects that follow cycles.

Additional context I was able successfully adjust the code in a local repositiory to accomplish reversing the starting with dark going to color, within standard code, and will be available for review.
