Hi. Firstly, thanks for the totally brilliant app. Just used it for the first time in a band practice session and crew liked it!
Apologies in advance if this has been asked or covered but I can't see it. Would it be possible to add a clock that shows the current time within a song' scrolling clock? E.g. "01:47".
Even better if you could add a way to move straight to that position in the song scrolling. E.g. jump to 01:47.
It probably wouldn't be needed or used a lot during playback but would be very useful when putting the correct {d_time:x:xx) tags in my songs.
Thanks again.

Would it be possible to add a clock that shows the current time within a song' scrolling clock? E.g. "01:47". Unfortunately, LivePrompter doesn't really have an internal clock that it could display - LivePrompter functions in terms of a "current position" within the song, which is just a percentage of the total "height" of a song. LivePrompter calculates scrolling speeds based on the time difference between d_times and the difference in positions. Best thing that could be done would be to reverse-calculate the current song-time from the current position, but that wouldn't be very accurate and possible confusing, so I'm reluctant to do that. So having a "song clock" or the option to jump directly to a time is not something I'd want to implement - sorry! For calculating d_times, there's a new feature coming in the next release: there will be a new tag {bar:xxx} that you can use instead of d_time, so you can simply count the number of bars to the position instead of having to use a stopwatch... I use an excel spreadsheet to calculate d_time tags, but have now moved to using {bar:} tags in most new songs I create. Cheers, Torsten

All good, thanks for responding anyway. Now that I've been setting lots of tags and using it more I probably agree that it wouldn't be useful enough to be worth the effort. Loving the program, thanks!
