i *think* this is all ugly hacks.

Pd messages are perfectly capable of having a very high time resolution
(actually sub-sample accurate; that's better than what you get with
signals), so you might re-think your assumption of having to use signals
*here* (use [vline~] to convert numbers into signals sample-accurately).

answer is simple: you can't¹.

¹however, this has been discussed before; so you might find some more
pointers in the archives.
