Feature Request: Options to help using the timeline for music-related applications

[aaronsantiago]

Currently there are a couple features that would help using the timeline for music:

• The "denominators" for the tick marks between numbers is hardcoded to a very non-musical 1, 2, 5, 10. Exposing this via configuration would help dramatically--for music or for dance 1, 2, 4, 8 etc. would be preferred.

  animation-timeline-control/src/utils/timelineUtils.ts

  Line 4 in 5e4bb08

  const denominators = [1, 2, 5, 10];

• The numbers above the timeline are treated as if they are always seconds, making things confusing when treating the timeline in terms of beats, as they additionally get converted into minutes/hours as the timeline grows. Adding a callback to replace _formatUnitsText dynamically would be optimal, as I could then implement "numbers only" display, or counting to 8s, etc.

  animation-timeline-control/src/timeline.ts

  Line 1493 in 5e4bb08

  _formatUnitsText = (ms: number, isSeconds = false): string => {

Hello @aaronsantiago
Thank you for the feedback.

1. Denominators I can make configuble, but cannot do this week.
2. format units -> you can just override existing function.

I would appreciate it if you could describe your usecase so other important changes will be also incorporated.

@aaronsantiago Do you have any mock-up or reference with the expected outcome (overall)?
