TimeMap2() vs. swing grid (helper functions posted by Justin)

[nofish]

edit:
Created a bug report here.

edit2:
See posts #10, #14 for Justin's helper functions.


=== original post ===

This

_nextGridPos = reaper.TimeMap2_beatsToTime(0, 0.25, 0)

should, to my understanding, give the position (in time) of the first visible grid line in my project.
It seems to work correctly for non swing grid:




However, when I set a swing grid, and run the script again, the same position is returned and not the actual position of the grid line.



Doesn't this function take swing grid into account or is it a bug in my understanding?

Ah, so you think TimeMap2_beatsToTime() does not take swing into account?

I'd think so (to my understanding, that's why I'd like to get a confirmation, or not, i.e. if it's a bug), . Which, if so, would explain why BR_GetNext/PreviousGridDiv doesn't work with swing grid currently I think as it uses these API functions.

Ah that would indeed make sense and explain it! I hope the devs read this and can give some insight.

For now I'd as well appreciate if a fellow scripter more familiar with this function could give an opinion so I'd know if I should create an 'official' bug report or not. Anyone?

Yes! Bump
