I have read the text file that comes with it but not found any info on setting the time dissplay. but its late and maybe I just missed it so will reread it … once again guys thanks for your input
ok I found it
If you format the information you are reading in properly it should not alter the information.

Also, you could convert the information to ticks and apply it all as ticks. I still don’t see why you need to change the time display.

math is not my best subject so maybe there is a better way to do what im doing but the main thing is i got it working, I can always fine tune it at a later . its taken me ages to get the script working so setting the timedisplay is working with the Extensions 7.09 thanks for the link . its not the input but the play back that seems to be the problem anyway thanks for your help below is part of my input Im working with as you can see there quite a few floats Im dealing with maybe I will work out abetter way later .
ppq = Tempo/Division as float -- microseconds per PPQ
Ta = 60.0/bpm as float
Tb = Ta*Tsig as float
Tbar = Tb*bar as float
Tc = Tb/Tsig as float
Tbeat = Tc*beat as float
Td = Tc/Division as float
Tclick = Td*click as float
T3 = Tbar+Tbeat+Tclick as float
if T3 != 0 then (animationRange = interval 0 (execute(T3 as string + "s")))
