Hi all!

I have a code in a footer passage that reads as follows:

(change: ?passage's chars, via (t8n-delay: 1.5s) (t8n-delay: pos * _lngth) (t8n:'blur') (t8n-skip: 0.2s))

where _lngth is equal to

(set: _lngth to (1 / length of (passage:)'s source) * 2500)

The (passage:)'s source is the closest thing I could find that allows me to detect how many characters are in a passage (I know this includes HTML and hidden code but so far it's the only thing I could find after scouring the Harlowe manual for a solution). I might be doing something wrong with my arithmetic but I figured that this would allow me to display pages of different lengths in the same amount of time (preferable about 2 and a half seconds) but instead longer passages are taken longer (because the math is definitely wack, I'm now realizing). I'm notoriously bad at math, so does anyone else have any ideas on how to do this? Any help is deeply appreciated!!
