Some days ago I posted a very simple patch (1 row) that does exactly this: show all
recordings on course as stoppable in the main menu.

I think that you can do it in the last version (I'm stuck with
1.1.30), anyway in older versions you have to switch off the timer
(blue button) and then press ok (to accept the command and stop
the recording) after that you can also delete the timer.
