Hi Sam

yes, I also thought about using MIDI signals, this would be an alternative 
solution. Anyway, what I asked for is a bit more specific: does JACK have an 
internal mechanism to send tempo (and perhaps meter too) to clients over the 
network? The answer was: NO (and probably is not going to have such a 
mechanism in near future).

Still there are solutions to my problem, and I’m investigating which one(s) 
could be optimal for my workflow.

At this point, you (and the list) are about to listen MY brain fart, :-) but 
in a new post, which I hope can be the starting point of a good discussion.
