Hm. Perhaps thats not a plug-in task, more a modification to moray itself,
but you may add parameters to the formula. Like this:
[Startframe,Endframe]k*45[SF,EF]k*(-45)

Perhaps it would be possible to change the clock by an Include-File...?

The "formulas" may replace the old dialogs. If there's a fixed value, you
don't need to calculate anything [the dialogs are the same as before],
otherviseyou need to find out, wich clock is given an wich part of the
"formula" is to be calculated...
