It's precisely when there is a song (as opposed to pure improvization or
pure live play), and the player starts in the middle of the score, that I
need time to be counted from the beginning of the score.
This is for the benefit of plugins that contain their own scores that must
be synchronized with the host's score. For example, a composition using
CsoundVST in Cubase where some of the piece is notated in Cubase, and some
is algorithmically generated in CsoundVST but must be synchronized with the
notation.
