OK, I think we agree, but we need to consider what happens when the tempo is changing in metronome time, while the music time is paused. I propose that the tempo be allowed to continue changing in metronome time, and snap back to be consistent with the score when the pause is over. The musical purpose would be use of GMPI hosts for real-time performance with algorithmic event generators and time processors.

Music time is a positional indicator of ticks (for example) from start of performance. Metronome time is a free running counter of ticks. I assumed it would continue regardless of transport state. People are shooting me down :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
