Trying to create a basic effect, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I'm creating a single-line (roof) two-color chase-effect (basically what you get with a two-color Single Strand Skip effect). However, I want the "movement/advancement" to be based off the timing bar (basically similar to the movement that you can achieve using the VU Meter/Timing Event Bar). The timing event bar is very close, but it has a wide gap of black (that I want to remove).
I.e. the "chase" advances in a staggered motion reflecting the timing bar, using only two colors.
Is there a separate effect that achieves this? Is the VU Meter/Timing Event Bar the only place that I can have effect triggered off the Timing Bar?
Actually, I think it's very similar to the effect that's described in the sticky at the top of this section (and it appears that this ability has since been removed):

I added the Skips because I was looking for a certain effect that I used for Halloween that was a super pain in the neck to implement in HLS. Basically, I wanted a "chase" that would advance only on the beats. In HLS, I ended up doing a TON of copy/paste things to get the effect and it took a lot of time. Here's an example now with the skips in xLights:
