I solved my issue the hard way by my own macro that calculates the transparency
levels depending on the current frame_number. Not too elegant. Also very simple
and linear, but for my purpose it was enough.

I would still be interested if someone can tell me how to make complex
animations with several objects and events on the time line and still use
S-curve mclock or something similar without having to program everything from
scratch.

Thanks for considering.
