Yes — `metaflac` or foobar2000 is the way to go here. The cuesheet is not part of the actual FLAC tag (which is Vorbis Comments or `METADATA_BLOCK_VORBIS_COMMENT`), but resides in a different block type called [`METADATA_BLOCK_CUESHEET`](https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#metadata_block_cuesheet). That's also the reason why it's not visible in extended tags.

I've added it to my list of future ideas for improvement.
