[FFmpeg-user] Possible to generate TimeCode stream for MXF-Op1a?

Hello,
ffmpeg is able to generate a start timecode for MXF or MOV files by using
" -timecode XX:XX:xxSEPxx"
When making a MOV file ffmpeg generates a starttimecode value in the
header and a seperate timecode stream. But not so for MXF.
But what can I do if I need a second timecode for MXF in a complete
timecode stream like at MOV generating.
stream 0:0 = video
stream 0:1 = audio
stream 0:2 = timecode
example from MOV file:
Metadata:
major_brand : qt
minor_version : 512
compatible_brands: qt
encoder : Lavf56.25.101
Duration: 00:00:50.00, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 53074 kb/s
Stream #0:0(eng): Video: mpeg2video (4:2:2) (m2v1 / 0x3176326D),
yuv422p(tv), 720x608 [SAR 152:135 DAR 4:3], 50000 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr,
12800 tbn, 50 tbc (default)
Metadata:
handler_name : DataHandler
encoder : Lavc56.26.100 mpeg2video
timecode : 11:23:00:11
Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: pcm_s16le (sowt / 0x74776F73), 48000 Hz,
4.0, s16, 3072 kb/s (default)
Metadata:
handler_name : DataHandler
Stream #0:2(eng): Data: none (tmcd / 0x64636D74)
Metadata:
handler_name : DataHandler
timecode : 11:23:00:11
------
So the basic question is:
Is ffmpeg able to GENERATE a whole timecode stream for MXF files?
If yes, how can I do that?
If no, is this feature planed for future releases?
Additional question:
Would it be possible to set 2 different timecodes like in following example?
Starttimecode in header: 10:00:00:00
Starttimecode in stream: 00:00:00:00
Best Regards
