how to setup 7 digit led multiplexer code for running in background?

I would look at DT's Instants

The elapsed timer might be what you need, with a little modification...

Thanks, looks interesting!

I'm doing it backwards. Mainloop turns on leds, start a timer, while timer runs gosub main code, turn off leds when timer over. Start a 2nd timer for off period, gosub main code until over. Rinse and repeat.

I adjust 2 timers until no more flicker.

The problem is, when looking at that sample code, I see only the part of code, which runs on interrupt. I have no idea where to insert the "main" code?

In here:

Main:
  IF SecondsChanged = 1 THEN  
     SecondsChanged = 0
     LCDOUT $FE,2, DEC Days,"d-",DEC2 Hours,":",DEC2 Minutes,":",DEC2 Seconds
  ENDIF
GOTO Main

You check the status of the timer flags to determine if things have changed, then reset them.
