Could be a possibility. I've been using jack transport locally and 
that's rock steady and without problems. Basically what I need is sync 
of tempo + the beginning of each bar. Start/stop and bar number is 
unnecessary for this exact purpose.

 From reading this, it seems to me he wrote "something" in 
supercollider. If it's reasonably stand-alone that shouldn't be a 
problem though.

I'll have to look into that also.

Basically it seems that I have more options that I thought. I start with 
what I have and check other possibilities if I get in trouble.

Thanks for the ideas!
