Setting the timecode for writing currently requires specifying the start
time as a string:
{{{
-timecode hh:mm:ssSEPff
}}}
It would be convenient in non-programming applications if the timecode
start time could be specified as "now", which would be interpreted as the
system clock time at runtime.
To be comprehensive, perhaps the "now" argument could have an optional
trailing character to indicate drop or non-drop timecode. For example:
{{{
-timecode now;
-timecode now:
}}}
I'd suggest that omitting the trailing character would default to non-
drop.
