The use case is, if you have non const beat grid in the master deck. In
this case the follower deck tries to follow this, which can sound funny. So
in this case you want just adopt the tempo one time to start the transition
and after that you have not think any longer about it.
I think it depends on the type of tracks an DJ style what works best.
Historical we come form a one time sync before master sync was implemented.
So it was natural to keep this behaviour on a normal click.
A preferences option works for me.
We schould keep the current behavior as default, because I get used to it
and it fits my type of music well.
Kind regards,
Daniel.

In a recent pull request ( https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1244 ) I
modified the SyncButton object in the Components controller mapping library
to behave like the sync buttons in skins. Short presses only use the
beatsync Control for one-time sync and long presses use sync_enabled for
master sync. Previously I had it so it just used sync_enabled like a normal
toggle button. The more I use the new way that mimics the skins, the less I
like it. I always want to use master sync when I press the button, but
sometimes I forget to hold down the button. That is not something I want to
have to think about while mixing. Forgetting to hold down the button has
messed up some mixes because I expected decks to stay synced as I changed
the tempo of one of them, but only one of them changed tempo.
Is there a use case for using master sync sometimes but not all the time?
Perhaps it would be better to make a new preference option that determines
whether the sync button is a toggle button for master sync or a push button
for the old one-time sync. What do you think?
