Hi Larry, Yes, thanks for that. Downloaded the trunk version and it now works.
It's a bit of a pain because I have 2 timelines and because I have different scales, they require slightly different trackNum numbers. I am living with one for now and it all works but it does not look as pretty as it did before! ;-) Thanks for your help.
