Events will be timestamped with sample-time. For plugins dealing with tempo
and song position, the host will provide conversion from sample-time to
music time when requested (via some aspect of the GIMPI API).
Scores will not sync to sample-time. There no point trying to 'overload'
sample-timestamps by using them to determin song position.
A plugin requiring song position and tempo, will simply ask the host for
it. The result will be in easy to use, musically relevant units.
For example VST provides time-signature, tempo, bar, and
position-within-bar information. Surely this is much better than insisting
that the sample-clock represents the song-position somehow?
Best Regards,
Jeff
