[seq24-users] why no loop when connected to jack transport?

[federico <xa...@in...>]

i have a question:
why seq24 ignores loop settings & markers when is connected to jack 
transport? it is a decision imposed by jack transport or by some other 
factor?

i know jack transport actually doesn't address the issue of looping...

however clients can set transport state and position (this is a more 
aggressive way of dealing with loops, probably this can be done only by 
the transport master).

alternatively, seq24 could keep an internal transport in sync with the 
real transport:
SEQ24_TICK = JT_TICK % (SEQ24_R - SEQ24_L);
where SEQ24_TICK is an internal counter,  JT_TICK is the jack transport, 
and (SEQ24_R - SEQ24_L) is the length of loop.

just an idea.. :)
