Well, that makes sense, of course. Who cares about quarter notes, if the meter explicitly defines a beat as something else? Next, temo. Beats/second, or whole notes/second? Both make sense in some ways, but I'm leaning towards beats/second, as that fits nicely with ticks being related to beats. Either way, I still think "ticks" should be 1.0 based. That is, 1.0/beat. Why throw some arbitrary value in there, unless we want to eliminate sample accurate timing by using integer ticks? //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .- The Return of Audiality! --------------------------------. | Free/Open Source Audio Engine for use in Games or Studio. | | RT and off-line synth.
