Thanks for that information.  This means that any midi track with tempo
changes that are not at a bar line will have their timing distorted -
and Qtractor is therefore not usable for them.

Perhaps there are certain types of music where tempo changes only
happen at barlines, but why does it need to be enforced by the program?
- especially when the Tempo Change/Marker window strongly implies that
any position within 1/1000 of a beat can be chosen.
