[RWP] Question about fading down items

[Scott Chesworth]

You could use the CTRL+J jump dialog to specify precise locations I
guess. The format for when you're working in bars and beats is 20.1.75
if you wanted to be 75% of the way through beat 1 of the 20th bar.
There's a slightly different syntax for hours minutes seconds and
frames which off the top of my head would be something like
00:30:30.10 for 10 frames past 30 mins and 30 secs, but that's just
going off the top of my head... could be slightly off. Probably worth
me pointing out that here at least, ReaAccess will sometimes read out
locations that are slightly off the mark if you verify with
CTRL+SHIFT+J for your position in bars/beats, or ALT+Shift+J for your
position in HMSF. IN my experience, the jump dialog is accurate, and
it's ReaAccess dropping the ball here. I've a sneaking suspicion it's
got something to do with zoom level, but haven't had an occasion to
really get to the bottom of it yet.

Hth a bit
