Different Timecode for each Flow?

Hello everyone,

I’m working with different flows and added a Timecode Staff (I really need this feature because the musicians also need to sync with a video).

I notice that in each flow, the Timecode starts at 00:00:00 (hours:minutes:seconds). I would like to change the starting time for each flow, but cannot seem to find any information on how to do it. I tried to add a marker with the specific time, but the Timecode seems to get weirder… (see attachment)

It is apparently also not possible to set a marker at the very start of the flow. Is there a way around this?
I appreciate your help.

Best, Kleros.

You can do this using the Video Properties dialog, accessed via the Flows panel in Setup mode.

Thank you so very much!!! I don’t know why I couldn’t find this info before.

I do have another question though. There’s a point where I have a polymetry going on (Flute has no time measure, and other instruments have a 3/4 and a 4/4 meter for example). From this moment on, the Timecode is non existent. I can add it manually with markers, but I wanted to know if there’s a way to still have it as previously (it goes on for quite some time, and I’d like to avoid doing it manually). I assume that it has to do with my setup: Timecode at every bar. And since all bars come at different points it cannot show the Timecode anymore. My problem is that if I choose “every system”, then it won’t show at every bar at normal points, as desired.

Maybe there’s no solution and it’s fine, but I still thought I would ask.
Thank you!

Is the flute the top staff? Seem to work here unless I misunderstood you.

Yes, it’s the top staff
Should I move the Timecode staff to the top?

Not sure if that will make a difference. I get timecode every 4/4 bar, even with the open time signature in the top staff.

Same below:

These settings.

Is it the same with a timecode staff?

It sadly doesn’t act like yours.
This is the result with the following settings:

I then changed them to this:

And these were my settings previously:

I also tried undoing the X measure and adding it again, but it goes back to the same.

Not sure if I can fix, but you could pm me the file if you like.
