How do you set a custom name for a Playback Master? I see it's a property of a sequence but I don't see a UI way of changing it or even it listed in the Sequence Properties.

you can change the name via UI, by using the Name button in the EditSetting tab of the Assign-menu of the Executor that you have assigned the Playback Master object to.
