@twaga I think the scratch verb is only used for BASIC testing purposes.
But to answer the question, mainly to show how to get ms/beat values
first one is a more recent way
we get a constant 1, we cast it as beats, we then cast that beat to ms and it gives us ms/beat, and because scratch expects a +/- value we cast it one more time to a relative value and that puts it on the end of the scratch verb as a relative ms value.
second one
we don't have a divide verb, but we do have a parameter manipulation of
1 / parameter
we then multiply by 60000 [the number of ms in a minute]
and as before cast as relative.
But as I said before the scratch verb is VERY BASIC
If you're looking for scratch on a button press, you should look at this.

Thank you. I have confirmed the correct behavior of your script. I know about scratchDNA, and we can adjust the size of the scratch using the alphabet.
But although we can adjust the timing based on the beat, I don't think we can adjust the size of the scratch based on the beat.
Is it possible to play only one beat and then pause by VDJscript?

play & wait 1bt & pause
I tried this script, but it seems that the small amount of time it takes for the play command causes small error and shifts.

I think that a loop action can be used to play exactly one beat, but can we create a script that specifies the number of loops and loops one beat only once?

I tried to imitate this and write a script that scratches back from the current position to the cuepoint, but the script below didn't work.. Could you please tell me the correct way to write it?
get_position & param_multiply -1 & param_add 'cue_pos 1 mseconly' & param_cast ms & param_cast relative & scratch
Sorry for writing so many times.
If I can make this script correctly, we can use the script with the script of scratching 1 beat taught by you and stutter, I think it will be possible to create a more flexible scratch than scratchDNA using manual keyboard operations.

get_position returns a value of 0.0 to 1.0, not a time,
try get_time elapsed
Also
cue_pos 1 mseconly is not pitch adjusted, use this instead
`get_time cue1 1000`
try get_time elapsed
Also
cue_pos 1 mseconly is not pitch adjusted, use this instead
`get_time cue1 1000`

You can make the beat to milliseconds part a little bit shorter btw
constant 1bt & param_cast ms
constant 1bt & param_cast ms

@adion nice addition, thanks for the info.

This script worked very well! Thank you very much.
param_add 'get_time cue1 1000' 'get_time elapsed & param_cast relative & param_multiply -1'& param_cast ms & param_cast relative & scratch

However, I found that this script works while pausing, but not while playing.
How can I make it work even during playing?

I solved it by adding pause at the beginning.

Regardless of the value of the scratch argument, the time it takes to one scratch seems to be constant. Is it possible to adjust the speed?

hi!
is there a script for button that make on/off stemfx “vocal” and “instruments”? i would use channel filter in vocal and instruments at same time, thanks a lot!

Not a hugely important topic but this verb is very under-documented, so I best quick fill in the gaps
The verb
get_date
I saw that and I thought "those format specifiers look very much like some C/C++ I know",
so I just tried some stuff that I guessed might work, and it does work. So it's not just date, it's all things time in pretty much any format you'll need.
After confirmation from the devs, it works how I guessed it works [get_date passes the format specifiers to the C++ function I thought it was]
Here's the full list of format specifiers available and the output.

get the current date (use 'get_date "format"' to get the date in a specific format. format can include %Y, %m, %d for year, month and day, %A for weekday)
