Does anyone now of a way to reliably launch clips that change the global time signature for a session? I am trying to go from 4/4 to 7/4 to 5/4 etc.. with the metro click following along as well as maintaining launch quantization at 1 bar for each time signature. Currently I am able to set the signature_numerator and signature_denominator properties through the Ableton API and control them view a M4L patch, however, when launching a new clip with a different time signature the downbeat will often repeat and throw things off. It seems like the downbeat from the previous time signature carries over into the new one and restarts it after the difference between them. The only thing that seems to fix this is stopping playback and then starting it again quickly every time a new scene is launched, which cuts off audio for a second.

Never mind.. If you simply name your scene with the desired time signature it will automatically change the transport settings when that scene is launched. You can likewise include the desired BPM in the name of the scene, i.e. '7/4 110BPM'
