You're only considering OTB gameplay here. One should
howerver strive for a general solution to the issue. Also
note that there's also another AFAIK estabilished form of
time notation, something linke
[%ccsnt 2011.06.16,17:53]
(This is CC gameplay, therefore the date matters as well.)
Nevertheless, it might be wise to check out [% ] notations.
Especially, considering that it's perfectly simple to hide
those annotations and avoid crowding PGN notation. (Just
switch off arrow marks.)
AFAIK it is common to use [%ct ] and [%emt ] for usual game
times. Note that this is also the way input engine stores
times if timing is provided. It might also be worth while to
check what some larger commercial company uses as
commentaries for time storage. (I think it's the above but
I'm not 100% sure about it.)
> 2) Annotate time for all the moves is a very boring task.
One should keep in mind that in real game play you might
already get the time stamps from a digital clock or, in
Scids game play functions by the internal clock.
For external time sources input engine comes to mind again,
e.g. I store timings from a DGT clock right into the
notation. The format used by Scid is
[%ct $wHrs:$wMin:$wSec] [%emt $timediff]
