yes, I understood this fact from your previous e-mail. It is already fixed (rev 71).
This bug was caused by usage of the "stop()" function in the "MIDI stop" action
(stop() does also a reset).

The "continue" should work again now (untested).

I found also other literature pointing out a "start" needs at least two
MIDI RT messages: "Start" and the first "Clock". Same with "Continue".


The current user interface of seq24 is missing a "stop" button acting only as
a stop, not stop + reset. This fact was already complained about by other users
and is clearly a disadvantage if one plays around with this kind of MIDI signals.

May be we should add a reset button "|<", resetting the position to the
very beginning and the stop button should be changed to only make a
stop, but nothing more.
