"Measures.beats" missing from "Secondary time unit"?

souk21 · 10-04-2023, 10:56 AM

Hello,
I'd like to set transport to be "Minutes:Seconds / Measures.Beats" but Measures.Beats is the only time unit missing from the "Secondary time unit" submenu.

Current workaround is to do the opposite (Measures.Beats / Minutes:Seconds) but I'd like the transport's time selection display to be Minutes:Seconds and this display only shows the "primary" time unit.

I'm not sur if this qualifies as a bug or a feature request, feel free to move

If this were supported, at any non-divisible-by-3-ish tempo you would have not very useful markings on the ruler, like for example at 100 bpm:

0:01.000 / 1.2.67
0:02.000 / 1.4.33

and so on.

[edit] oh, just for the transport. Maybe...
