JACK in newest version

I saw this in the list of new features: "JACK Transport/Timebase master option"

What will this do?

this is simply about the optional separation between JACK transport full/master vs. JACK Timebase master modes: previously it was implicit that you only get qtractor to be a timebase master when it was set as transport master--not anymore: you can keep it as timebase master while not functioning as transport master.

nb.
a) timebase master relates to the musical/metronomic information being delivered to other JACK clients (tempo, bar, beat, ticks, time-sig. etc.).;
b) transport modes relate to linear playback location sync and state (stopped vs. rolling).

Got it, thanks.
Kinda hoping it meant finally being able to switch between Measures/Beats/Ticks and Hours/Minutes/Seconds.

- you can, kinda, do that like changing the time display format, by summoning the context-menu while hovering the time/clock widget on the main toolbar, and choose between Time (default), BBT and Frames.
