Hey SMPTE is great, so is bars/beats, but why no hours minutes seconds display? Could really use that when jamming out a song.

If you look closely,

Bars & Beats are above the tracks in Arrangerview -

But theres also Hours & Minutes underneath the tracks

Hypotheticly even if there werent minute markers below the tracks a simple equation (in your head or on a calculator) is all it takes. Its always handy to have a calculator nearby in the studio anyways. I am sure this is common knowledge for most but for any who are not as mathmaticly inclined I thought I would spell it out.

For Example :

You have a 4/4 track that is 160 bars long and is playing at a constant 125 bpm.

160 total bars * 4 beats per bar = 640 total beats

640 total beats / 125 bpm = 5.12 minutes

Equation :

total bars * beats per bar / bpm = minutes

For tracks using different time signatures and changeing bpm different variables will be needed.
