Insert accumulated time after each bar line

Save the following with the name TimeText.js .  When installing a new user tool and doing the Browse to get this, add "wscript " (note trailing space) to the beginning of the line and the prompts on line 6 to the end of it.  Accept the defaults.

I wanted to give a warning when a Tempo Varience was found, but didn't find a way to do it.

/* Time Through Current Bar by Warren Porter "TimeText.js"

   This script will insert the cumulative time at the beginning of each bar line.
   After downloading this file, when setting it up in NWC User Tools create this command line:

   wscript "'Browse can insert the path for you' \TimeText.js" <PROMPT:Run?:=|Yes|Undo> <PROMPT:BeginTime:=*00:00.0>

   The first parm will run the whole script ("Yes") or simply remove timings from a previous run ("Undo").
   Use the second parameter to specify a starting time for the song.

Edited change:  Got a popup to warn of tempo variences.
