Provide mechanism to start a TimeLine from a specific time offset

[dathinaios]

... I'm ending up in a situation now where I have 30 minute long timelines with no way of going to specific points in time. I was wondering if it would be possible to implement this behaviour through setting the clock, something in line with

~cuelist.clock.beats = 290;

to be able to go directly to time 290, but this doesn't work, unfortunately. The use case is to be able to start the show from a specific point in time and let it run in real time after that.

Yes!!!

@kflak I finally had a go at this! Would you mind testing it and give some feedback?

In theory all you need to do is add an offset argument in the timeline options. For example:

(
c = TempoClock(5);
t = Timeline.new(clock: c, options:(mode: \beats, quant: 1, offset: 2));
t.add(0.5, {"test 1".postln});
t.add(1, {"test 2".postln});
t.add(2, {"test 3".postln});
t.add(4.3, {"test 4".postln});
t.add(9, {"test 5".postln});
);

t.play;
t.plot;

When using CuePlayer just put the offset argument in the timelineOptions.

Here is the Timeline.sc file. Just replace the current one and give it a try:

Awesome! Will give it a try when I have a bit more time, hopefully this week!

Very interesting. Will also check this.

Completely forgot about this one 😄

@kflak , @iani Any of you had the chance to test it?

Hi there,

Sorry, didn’t have a chance to test it yet! Time just flies by, even in these COVID times... hopefully I’ll have a chance to check it out next week.

I will have to assume this is working fine 😉

[kflak]

Yes, I suppose so ;-) never got around to testing it, sorry! But it's very, very good to know that the feature is there...
