It seems that most archives carry version 3.7.0p11 as the latest version, but actually 3.7.2 exists and is fully OS8.1 compatible in my experience. I'm sure Jim wouldn't mind me uploading this version. Apparently, the previous archive was corrupt is some way. Herewith I post is again, hoping that this time it's O.K.

Update - April 1998. Now has keyboard shortcuts. Supports both 80 and 100 bits (subframes) per frame. Paste results directly into ProTools and Sound Designer II time windows. Time display optionally in seconds & decimal fractions, or rounded (to 1/2 second, nearest second, or up). Shareware, $10. MusiCalc is a multi-functional HyperCard-based music and time calculator which will add, subtract, multiply, and divide time on a scale of minutes and seconds. Entries are free-form and may be corrected, annotated, copied, cut, pasted, and recalculated. MusiCalc consists of 4 calculator elements: 1) MusiCalc, a calculator for musical time relationships (calculates time from bars & tempo, bars from time & tempo, and tempo from bars & time, and converts beats-per-minute to frames-per-beat & vice-versa); 2) TimeCalc, a time calculator which properly adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides minutes, seconds, frames, and bits (with optional entry of tenths, hundredths, etc. in place of, or combined with, these subdivisions); 3) BarCalc, a formula evaluator which simplifies computing the length of a piece of music, particularly music with changing meters and/or repeating sections whose measure-number count does not correspond to elapsed beats (BarCalc can be used for any kind of multi-part formula evaluation); and 4) SMPTECalc, which calculates sum and difference times using a stored SMPTE timecode number and MusiCalc or TimecCalc results, facilitating re-synchronization.
