D'oh! No wonder I could never find it. Sorry.
(Those posted Ardour graphs remind me of Phase Locked Loop
 circuits' error control voltages.) 

I can imagine sync was a tougher nut to crack in Ardour.
MusE's ticks per quarter note is fixed at 24, although
 the 'frames per quarter note' (hence division) is variable.
And you'd want sub-tick (frame) resolution in an app like Ardour.

I want to get our MTC code working. I've got the rate
 detectors working and have monitored input from Ardour Ok.

Question: Ardour supports many different timecode fps
 but MTC only has two bits for the fps.
How are these other fps supported? Not for MTC?

Tim.
