hi,

The incorrect behavior was:
when loading a previously saved session tempo was always the default 120 bpm.

I guess except for 'Jack Tranposrt' these settings are obsolete now.

According to the JACK API Reference Manual the former transport master
role has been divided into two layers: timebase master and transport
control.

Any client can make transport control requests.

The timebase master is not needed unless extended position information
like counting beats, timecode, etc. is required. Seq24 does not have
any of those extended features.

Regarding netjack there is a master machine and a slave machine.
Transport control requests may come from any client on the master
machine.
