API: GetProjectTimeOffset -> GetProjectMeasureOffset

[lexaproductions]

Hello Devs. We have:

GetProjectTimeOffset

but we don't have

GetProjectMeasureOffset

Right now there are 2 ways of getting this data but both have shortcomings:

1. Using this works:

   reaper.SNM_GetIntConfigVar("projmeasoffs", 0)

   But it only works with the foremost project tab without access to the background tabs
   
   
2. Reading an rpp and getting the value from:

   'PROJOFFS'

   works great but the value does not get written until saving the project, so this can be unreliable.

I hope this could be a simple thing to do?

A native API would be good, otherwise it's possible to add a SNM_GetIntConfigVarEx in SWS that accepts a ReaProject parameter.

[lexaproductions]

That would also be neat. But wouldn't that function still get the "last saved" version of the parm?

[cfillion]

No, it would behave like the current SNM_GetIntConfigVar but in any opened project tab.

...Then you could be my savior!

Here you go: https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/pull/1759. Builds should complete in about an hour and be posted there.

Works great! I'm really grateful, many thanks

1. This SWS build seems to have the same version number as the last dev build, how can I difference them? Asides from the doing a check with:

   reaper.APIExists('SNM_GetIntConfigVarEx')

2. Now when would this be in the official release so that I don't have to direct people to an unreleased build if they want to use REALIVE?

1. The about dialog shows 'projconfigvarapi' though that's not accessible via the API.
   Feature detection is the better approach for this kind of thing rather than version checks. No need for APIExists, a simple "if reaper.SNM_GetIntConfigVarEx then" does the same trick faster.
   
2. No idea for a stable release. New pre-releases usually when there's arbitrarily enough patches queued to warrant one, REAPER breaking changes, or major bugfixes...
