track clock not working?

[XORadmin]

Setting the clock either through the Nerd menu or track setup should work normal but it takes effect when the new pattern starts. When you change it while the track is not playing it will change directly and the next pattern will play with the new scale setting. The same for the sclk command. It takes effect at the point when the next pattern starts. There is a good reason for that, because if it would change directly you would be out of sync with this track compared to the others. So this takes care (as well as the order of dividers/multipliers) that you even while playing stay in sync.
Putting the SCLK at the begin or end of the pattern is just a choice of people. There is a discussion that it should work already on the current pattern, but in fact, when the FX command is being read, the current pattern is already running with it’s current scale. And that makes it very tricky.
