Timestamp derived from BPM

As we know, lyrics and midi can be timed using the format mm:ss.xxx. For example [midi@01:50.00: PC30@1]. How about being able to calculate that time based on tempo? It could look like [midi@beat.3: CC30.127@1] and would resolve to [midi@00:01.500: CC30.127@1]if the song was 120BPM. (60s / 120BPM * 3 = 1.5 seconds). This would allow for many things such as tap tempo, exact lighting and lyrics sync.

Would be simple to implement but I seriously doubt the usefulness of it as playback is not grid based, it is purely time based. And most audio files have a bit of silence before playback starts. You would need a lot of tinkering to get it right.

Understood. For tap tempo it is useful as long as the (two or more) ”taps” are sent out at the precise interval, regardless of if they are offset from the actual audio playback.
