Is there a way to get a column to show the track start time in sequence? I.e. the sum of the lengths of all preceding tracks in the list. Thanks.

I _think_ variables are only used in exports.

Hmm, you may try something of export with included summation into a textfile and import the calculation results into a new tag field resp. column.

It would be really nice to have a sort of internal variables that can hold and let modify their values even while running actions against selected files.
