Default Ruler - Show fractions of millisecond

Hi everybody,

I'm making an experiment with a friend of mine to "play" with interaural delay. In order to make some tests I have to duplicate a track and make it start a fraction of millisecond later than the original one.

I managed to do it by zooming in a lot so that I could get under the millisecond range and place the duplicate track a fraction later than the other using Split mode. The only thing, though, is that the ruler doesn't show decimals/fractions of a millisecond but it remains min:sec:msec. Do you know if there's a way to make it show something like min:sec:msec:xxx?

Many thanks in advance for your feedback.

For precision small time differences work in samples.

My suggestion as well(and its easy to set a specific value to the Nudge command). For more help, check this:

Sorry to be blunt, but that's a dumb way to do it. Instead use Eventide's Precision Time Align.

Thank me later about not having to faffe about.
