how to sync markov sequences?

I've been using first order markov sequences to generate basic rhythms. these sequences are interesting but they wander about with no awareness of any time signature. Is there a way to use second order markovs to make the sequence sound more fixed to a time signature? Like could I use a 2nd order markov to define the probability of snare after a hi hat as 0.1 on the 2nd beat of a bar, but 0.85 on the third beat of a bar?
