In M4L, I am trying to make slider that will display the progression from the start to the end of a 4 bar loop in session view (like the purple circle in the picture).

First I tried with [phasor~ 4.0.0 bbu @lock 1] and it worked great until I started changing time signatures - it just doesn't respect time signature changes.

Then I tried with the [plugphasor~] and it's the same thing, it goes off the rails when I change signature.

Then I tried [transport] but it doesn't seem to work for me at all in Max for Live, nothing comes out of the outlets except the BPM.

I'm out of options.

I would use [plugsync~].

thanks for your help but this doesn't work, it just goes on after the time signature change.

I've managed to make a VERY unelegant solution with [plugsync~] [transport] and 4 sliders each for one bar.

I think the [plugsync~] needs a "reset bar on time signature" option that the [transport] has.
