Hi Kai, Yes, Rosegarden definitely plans to implement JACK transport again. We already have a "master" infrastructure in place so it should be a simple matter of plugging everything back in and working out the "slave" requirements. I have to admit I gave up on implementing or even following the discussion for JACK transport over the last six months (shocking how time flies) waiting for a point just like this. I believed you guys would get it right and stable eventually and didn't feel like I could really contribute anything until we attempt an implementation of it - which we surely will. Might have to wait a couple of weeks though for holidays etc.
Many thanks for letting us know and for your hard work on this one. Hope we can do it justice.
