Now, plugins are part of the sequencer as well? ;-)
Let me rephrase:
The only relevant relation to "seconds" here, is that
with the audio sample rate - and plugins have that in
common with the sequencer.
And by this I mean; the part of the sequencer (no matter how you
implement and structure the rest of it) that runs in the net, is
driven by free running audio time, just like all plugins in the net.

it does:
5/8 = 2.5 * 1/4
That's what I mean; that doesn't look very logical to me - but either
way, it's just a unit...
choose.
quarters simply happen to work well, and there's
no need to break with convention here.
Doesn't work very well for 5/8, does it...? thus, forcing another calculation back
from frame units is illogical.
