Thanks!
Now, I would like to have arrows between cells. I have tried using overlays (see below), and I understand that an overlay is centered within the cell. How do I move the arrow so that it points from 6 to 7, for instance?
(Starting a little to the right and above the 6, ending below and to the left of the 7)

Maybe https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf,
section 5, Positional graphics, is what you look for?
