Release Notes Fix for timing calculation that I got spectacularly wrong. This was noticeable when syncing with other apps via Ableton Link, especially so at slow tempos. Imagine a drunk drummer - that sort of thing. Still scope for improvement around timing generally, but this was so incredibly bad, I wanted to get a "quick fix" out ASAP. Sincere apologies. -Rob
