IIUC NSM doesn't care about the jackd settings. When Qtractor also
ignores the settings, expects that they are the same as when an audio
track was recorded, then Qtractor _does not_ support NSM session
management. I start my sessions by scripts and don't use a session
manager and it seems that my decision to do so is good.

Fair enough, so next time I'll increase the MIDI resolution, to be able
to fix sync issues with audio tacks, while for MIDI I don't need a
higher resolution.
