 ahh, no indeed it isn't. the sync button currently only engages/disengages 
midi sync.  the only way to control jack transport is to call up the midi sync 
menu and engage/disengage enable/disable checkboxes. so, the sync button will 
enable you to go into and out of midi sync or have muse clock internally only.  
no jack transport control from the track pane window. the transport bar sync 
button really should be able to globally engage/disengage the alternate sync 
option set in the midi sync page or muse internal clock. as MC and jack 
transport are mutually exclusive anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to do.

there are currently 3 sync options and perhaps 4 in the future with MTC if 
that ever gets fixed so ideally a way of selecting between them without having 
to use the current system would be good but more work than just adding the 
global functionality as I suggest to the sync button we have. i n other words, 
whatever the midi sync page has set the sync button should enable  or disable.
hope that makes sense.

best,
