I have a (presumably) fairly basic transport system which I use to control dynamic ramps using [function]. Sometimes when I open the patch and start the transport, it begins at measure "-2", sometimes at "-1", and sometimes in the middle of bars.

The subpatch [stages] lets me select important points in my piece (for rehearsal purposes). When the transport is "offset", all of these stages are similarly offset (i.e. pressing the 2 key should jump to m. 40, but instead it will jump to m. 38 if the transport was starting at -1).

Also important is the [line~] and [snapshot] which I use to control the tempo, which needs to change dynamically over the course of the piece.

I've copied the transport part of the patch here but left out the ramps.

Can anyone offer any explanation for the bizarre and seemingly random offset in the transport?
