The iPad version has Start and End timecode input fields.

1. •You can enter either a start time or an end time and the other timecode will shift with it. The duration, tempo and notation stay as they were.
   

2. •If you lock the Endpoint and enter a Start time, the duration will change and thus either the tempo or the measure numbers will change depending on what you have selected (Tempo or Notation).
   

3. •If you hit the arrow pointing from the end to the start, the endpoint becomes the start and the end is recalculated based on the tempo and measures (aka Duration).
   

4. •Put in a Start point past a locked endpoint and it will just switch them to their correct position and calculate the duration between points.
   

5. •If you adjust the tempo or measures so that a locked endpoint would create a start point prior to zero, the endpoint automatically unlocks and calculates the correct endpoint with a zero starting point. You often will encounter this if you slow the tempo too far. Note that the endpoint won’t “relock” if you speed up again. This may become a feature in a future update.

SMPTE timecode is displayed in Hours : Minutes : Seconds : Frames.bits (bits go from .00 to .79)

Enter timecode in two ways:

1. 1.Enter your project timecode and have the real (wall) time automatically calculated.
   

2. 2.Enter the real (wall) time and have it instantly calculate your project timecode for that exact moment in time.

Timecode entered in 29.97d is always interpreted as real time and converted to the 29.97d format for that time. For example, when nine minutes is entered (when 29.97d is selected) 00:08:59;29.64 is displayed because this is the timecode when nine minutes in real time has actually passed.

The tempo range is from 5 to 290 beats per minute.

The time signatures range from one to twelve beats per bar:

1/2, 2/2, 3/2, 4/2, 5/2, 6/2, 7/2, 8/2, 9/2, 10/2, 11/2, 12/2

1. •If you want to write a song 4:32 minutes long and at 108 beats per minute, it will tell you how many measures and beats (to 3 decimal places) it needs to be (in your chosen time signature).
   

2. •Likewise, given the number of measures and beats, and the timecode you want it to fill, it will tell you how fast you need to play it.
   

3. •If you know how many measures and beats it is and how fast you want to play it, SMPTE Score will tell you how long it will take in your chosen timecode.

After you find out that your score in 7/8 needs to be played at 170bpm, check out "Maestro" to see how to conduct it.

You can also use it as a simple timecode converter - just select between the different timecodes.
