You can now use duration as opposed to elapsed time in your *sequence ncs.

Include the ElapsedOrDuration,????????  entry at the top of your *sequence nc  where ???????? is either ‘duration’ or ‘elapsed’.
Omitting this entry altogether is the same as saying ‘elapsed’.

The 2 following examples result in the same performance:

ElapsedOrDuration,elapsed
1,Dance,BenBhang8 | 0
2,Dance,D-Belly11 | 10
3,StopAll | 15
END

ElapsedOrDuration,duration
1,Dance,BenBhang8 | 10
2,Dance,D-Belly11 | 5
3,StopAll | 0.1
END

There is validation for times now.

If choosing duration then:
Duration CANNOT be ZERO

If choosing elapsed (the default) then:
each Elapsed time must be GREATER than the previous ELAPSED time
