Precise timing



Title: Precise timing
Hi--

I'm trying to get my lyrics to scroll with my CD, but the timing isn't precise enough. I was wondering whether anyone might kow of a better way to time my pulses.

on idle
tell application "Microsoft Word"
              
tell window 1
                        small scroll down 1
                end tell
       
end tell
        return 0.7
end idle

I match the lyrics to my scrolling speed by inserting blank lines into my lyrics.  M ostly, it works fine.

The problem is that the time between scrolling pulses is not as uniform as I would like.  If it were sometimes early and sometimes late, that would be OK so long as it evened out after a few lines.  But it isn't.  Sometimes it's 'way late and never catches up.

Is there another way to fire off a command, a way that is more tied to a timer?
