Thanks, very much appreciated!

I'll play around with the settings a bit more, but yours is a good starter.

Thanks again!

How did you get away with using 27,9 on Fullperiod? 8-)

I'm seeing "Error: No save due to errors" and "Error:
FullPeriod must be a
real-valued number", unless I change the value to e.g. 27.

This is on BPC v3.2.1.

27.9  not 27,9  (point, not comma).
