I think Jakob understands this. When working on cross-application compositions with the JACK transport, that B:B:T needs to be perfectly aligned between the two apps. This is typically done by only using 1-measure-long patterns, or editing Ardour's time signatures, or whatever. But, I often get really tired of 1-measure-long patterns. Wolke, I'm sure you get tired of altering Ardour's timelines every time you adjust a pattern. Also, I've noticed that H2 let's you trigger mismatched patterns in the same group. What would be cool is if we could write patterns that span several measures -- but have it still work in a well-defined way with the transport. Indeed, it's not unheard-of for a composer to write a song that literally uses 2 or 3 time-signatures at the same time. (Seriously... I've played a couple -- and there's other's where that's what's really happening under the covers.) While multi-time-signature support is (IMO) beyond our current scope, I think multi-measure patterns could be done without much pain.
