hey,
first of all, we need to make sure you have the right setup in the patch:
are you using Compositionsampler and the kairos clock like in the timeline help patch?
if so you can control the time by operating on the Clock node (Seek operation).
In the Timeline UI you can also use the mouse on the timebar to set and scroll time. by keeping Shift pressed you also snap to time grid.
If you have ideas for improving the experience you can describe them as issues in the repository. it’s cool to collect there all the requests ;)
cheers
