ITimeSpan conversion to float or int

So I'm trying to use MIDI ticks to keep my scripts in sync with audio. (if there is a better way to do this please let me know). So I'd like to convert ITimeSpan to a float or int.

What I'm trying to do:
script for notes to move down screen.
public class MoveDown : MonoBehaviour
{
public float fallRate = .01f;
public VectorGrid VG;
private SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
public bool useVG;
public long noteTime;
public ITimeSpan currentTime;

void Start()
{
    spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
    if(useVG)
    VG = GameObject.FindWithTag("VG").GetComponent<VectorGrid>();
}

public void UpdatePosition(){
    float timeDifference = noteTime - currentTime;
    float offset = timeDifference * fallRate;
    transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - offset);
}

Hi,

So I'd like to convert ITimeSpan to a float or int.

What the type ITimeSpan is? What is float or int? MIDI ticks, seconds, what? Do you want to convert currentTime to this?

Please don't force me to pull the information from you. I have no time for this.

Thanks,
Max

Sorry if I wasn't clear what I'm trying to do. There is surprisingly little resources for this sort of thing so I appreciate what you've done here. I ended up just converting it to a string and then to a number. You're quite the one-man-band.

private float convertToFloat(ITimeSpan timeSpan){
return Int32.Parse(Regex.Match(timeSpan.ToString(), @"\d+").Value);
}

What about this?

return ((MidiTimeSpan)timeSpan).TimeSpan;
