Resetting the "time" bar to an actual time of day rather than time interval

[mud4feet]

Just wondering if there is a way to change the time bar at the top of the screen to reflect actual time of day rather than just a recording interval (re: track begins at 7:30 rather than track begins at 0:00). I’ve figured out a workaround but it involves arithmetic…it would be much easier if I could modify the start time. Thanks in advance if you have a solution.
