Several timing formats could be useful for absolute and relative times
[x] ticks (integers)
[x] real time (needs tempo information)
[x] note values (i.e. fractions/multiples of whole notes)
Measure-beat-subbeat cannot be a timing measure as it does not support additive operations. It might still be used to indicate absolute positions if time signature information is present
