Exact time format for lyrics event in MIDI file [min : sec . milisec] or for example [01:03.125]

[2311627BorisBacic]

When I read midi file with note event I get on Visual Studio Code terminal exact time format which I need [min : sec . milisec] or for example [00:01.134] but when I read time of lyrics event I get different format [hours : min : sec : milisec] how change this output format of Console.Write

`var midiFile = MidiFile.Read(SONG);

      var tempoMap = midiFile.GetTempoMap();
      var notes = midiFile.GetNotes();
      var fileHeaderToken = midiFile.GetTrackChunks();
      var y = midiFile.Chunks.OfType<TrackChunk>();
      var x = midiFile.GetChannels();
      var z = Melanchall.DryWetMidi.Core.TrackChunkUtilities.GetChannels(fileHeaderToken);  
      var timedEvents = midiFile.GetTimedEvents();
      var a = new Melanchall.DryWetMidi.MusicTheory.ChordProgression(); 
      var lyricTimedEvents = midiFile.GetTimedEvents().Where(e => e.Event.EventType == MidiEventType.Lyric);
        
         Console.WriteLine($"{z} timed events found.");

           foreach (var e in lyricTimedEvents)
           {
             var metricTime = e.TimeAs<MetricTimeSpan>(tempoMap);
             var lyricText = ((LyricEvent)e.Event).Text;
            Console.Write($@"       
                                 [{metricTime:mm\:ss\.fff}]{lyricText}");
           }

// THIS metricTime on terminal sent time WRONG format I need [hours : min : sec : milisec] or for example [00:1:02:124]
// Can I change this format to [min : sec . milisec] or example [01:01.124]

tempoMap = midiFile.GetTempoMap();
TimeSpan midiFileDuration = midiFile.GetDuration();

      Console.WriteLine($"            Midi File duration [ {SONG} ] = {midiFileDuration}");
      Console.ReadKey();
           foreach (var chord in midiFile.GetChords())
           {
             var timeSpan = (TimeSpan)chord.TimeAs<MetricTimeSpan>(tempoMap);
             Console.Write($@"       
                               [{timeSpan:mm\:ss\.fff}]{chord}");
           }

// THIS timeSpan on terminal sent time format I need for example [01:01.124]`

Sorry for bother I solved problem with moving

` Console.WriteLine($"{z} timed events found.");
TimeSpan midiFileDuration = midiFile.GetDuration();
// I move this upper command and ad in var metricTime , TimeSpan
foreach (var e in lyricTimedEvents)
{
var metricTime =(TimeSpan)e.TimeAs(tempoMap);
var lyricText = ((LyricEvent)e.Event).Text;
Console.Write($@"
[{metricTime:mm:ss.fff}]{lyricText}");
}

      tempoMap = midiFile.GetTempoMap();
      // TimeSpan midiFileDuration = midiFile.GetDuration<MetricTimeSpan>();

      Console.WriteLine($"            Midi File duration [ {SONG} ] = {midiFileDuration}");
      Console.ReadKey();
           foreach (var chord in midiFile.GetChords())`

I'm glad you've solved the problem. But honestly I didn't understand clearly your issue because of messy formatting. Please note that you should care about code formatting to get help. I recommend you to learn about how to format your messages and code on GitHub. See this comment as an example: #305 (comment).
