How to get Playhead Position of DAW

[toxonic]

Is there a way to get the position of the playhead from the DAW. I know, i can use setOnTransportChange() to check, if it's playing or stopped. But how can I, for example, find out, if the playhead got reset to the start? I tried Engine.getPlayhead(), but I couldn't figuere out, how to use it... it just spit out an empty object.

Engine.getPlayhead() seems to be the method of choice, but how to use it? Any examples?

@toxonic For what purpose ? Syncing to playhead ?
If so then this works.

 // Create a transport handler

const var transportHandler = Engine.createTransportHandler();
transportHandler.setEnableGrid(true, 8);
transportHandler.setSyncMode(transportHandler.PreferExternal);
transportHandler.startInternalClock(0);

 
 // The grid callback needs to be enabled for the LFO
 // to sync itself to the clock.
 
 // The clock will now prefer the external clock source. This
 // means that as long as the external clock isn't running
 // (the DAW playback is stopped) it will use the internal clock
 // and as soon as the DAW playback is started it will resync
 // itself to match the DAW position
 
 // Start the internal clock. This will cause the LFO to run
 // even if the DAW playback is stopped. (if you omit this line
 // the LFO will not move unless the DAW playback is started).

@lalalandsynth Thank you much, that's a good starting point!
