I don't quite understand your question, but I'll assume two possible angles: 1) I can't recreate this. When I numerically change the length or position in the Event List (or Event Float), I immediately see a graphical change in the Matrix. 2) I can't recreate this. When I set the view in the Matrix (see View submenu) to SMPTE (instead of bars/beats), I definitely see the numerical readout as SMPTE. >I also wonder why there is a difference in the actual SMPTE position of >an event and its apparent position against the SMPTE time ruler? There was a graphic bug regarding (I think) what you're talking about. Fixed in 4.04 (at least I never get it anymore). It was the Time Ruler that was wrong, not the Object(s) in that bug. f-erenc "Without chemicals, he points"
