Re: [Audacity-devel] International numeric punctuation

Thanks Gale,

I've been working on the code to be able to convert a value such as 1:35 
into proper number of measures for clicktrack.ny, depending on time 
signature and beats per measure.

I've seen values such as 3:58 on vinyl albums years ago for giving 
duration of a tune, so decided to go with that as the optional "total 
duration" input field. Your mentioning 3m58s is a second good option.

You sure find all kinds of information fast, thanks!

David
