IDirectMusicPerformance8::ReferenceToMusicTime

The ReferenceToMusicTime method converts a performance time in REFERENCE_TIME format to a performance time in MUSIC_TIME format.

Syntax

HRESULT ReferenceToMusicTime(
  REFERENCE_TIME rtTime,
  MUSIC_TIME* pmtTime
);

Parameters

rtTime

Time in REFERENCE_TIME format.

pmtTime

Address of a variable that receives the converted time in MUSIC_TIME format.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is S_OK.

If it fails, the method can return one of the error values shown in the following table.

Return code
E_POINTER
DMUS_E_NO_MASTER_CLOCK

Remarks

Because music time is less precise than reference time, rounding occurs.

This method converts a time offset from the start of the performance, not a duration. Because the ratio between music time and reference time units depends on the tempo, DirectMusic takes into account all tempo changes since the start of the performance when calculating prtTime. If a master tempo has been set for the performance, it is taken into account as well.
