I would like to use:
Code: Select all
show expression Text("It's day %(day)d.", yalign=0.5, xalign=0.5, drop_shadow=(2, 2)) as text with dissolve
to display the day- but it doesn't interpret the variable "day"...

In python code (which that is), you need to use Python's string interpolation syntax:
Code: Select all
show expression Text("It's day %d." % day, yalign=0.5, xalign=0.5, drop_shadow=(2, 2)) as text with dissolve
