Hi Rick,

Are you wanting to update what time Lily currently thinks it is at
within a measure?

If so, section 8.4.2 on time administration might help with
Score.setMeasurePosition.

If you're wanting to change the duration of notes or rests before or
after some event, there's always the * times operator after the
written duration.
