That's interesting - I had forgotten that frame_number even existed because I
got used to using clock years ago, but I can see that frame_number would be more
appropriate under some circumstances, possibly including this one. I did in fact
have to include some code to convert number of frames generated to time elapsed
so using frame_number would be exact instead of within 1 / framerate / 2. The
beat markers will be in milliseconds which would have to be converted to
frame_numbers though so it's a trade-off either way. Thank you for the excellent
suggestion!

Have an awesome day Kenneth!

Kind regards,
