The show that I and a partner won our Third Place Brewster Award for had 736 timeline events in the first two minutes, using LD2000. We had to wake up Bill Benner late on night to find out how to merge another timeline in as we used all the available cues getting enough layers, and we were new users of the Pangolin System... It can be done with LD2000, Beyond, and LSX, and probably others like Lasergraph DSP or LOBO's LACON.. Or if you really wanted to suffer, with WAV files.
Working in shifts, that show took about three and a half days, He and I working back to back on one PC.. When your a 20 something, sleep was optional. Now I have custom beam show tools to make it easer, that modify the colors of the points in a frame and spin off a new frame, making up to 250 unique frames which get ran as an animation.. This way I don't burn as many cue events on the timeline...
For that show, almost all the frames were a single frame turned into an animation using the built in effects, , and then layers applied. That made it look far more different then most effects in the competition. Which was something our peers noted as they selected the winners. No three judge panel at LFX, the whole audience of conference attendees and their loved ones voted, while watching the shows live in laser. . Thus a true juried award. Which is why I value that award far more then the modern chunks of ILDA glass.
It can be done with Beyond or LSX easily enough, but probably not with Quickshow.. Parts of our show got close to Synesthesia for a few seconds at a time back in the late 90s..
The downside is by the time your done, you really hate the song your working on, as you have listened to 10-15 second song fragments hundreds of times while adjusting the time line... If you want to put that kind of effort in, well, I hope your paid well... I cringe whenever I hear that song to this day.
