Sorry i have to return to this very basic question.
But why PPQ, a division of note resolution into fractions of parts per quarter?
It is not a timedependent division until you add BPM?
Why is the resolution of the music BPM dependent "number of ticks per second variable".
Why just not settle for highest desirable ticks/second and lock in there?
Then changin BPM becomes a fractional measurement "note drift within ticks", but the ticks every second is the same.
Is there a musical or technical reason for letting the ticks per second drift between diffrent BPM's????
If so i would like an explanation because i really do not get it?
Maybe it is inheritance from the time the time resolution was really low, and quantization degree of music became high recording midi?

My attempt making "playup" independent of ticks and rather time based, i will have to give up, i did my best but Javascript is far to inaccurate to be useful using timeouts.
I still think my solution is better, but i have to bow to the midi gods and implement timedependent ticks "and probably PPQ ticks", to make a satisfiable listening experience.
It just seem such a waste with processor cycles, but maybe it is done anyway in the background with setTimeOuts "are we there yet,are we there yet,are we there yet"
I do beleive though its gonna be alot harder getting any rendition done at the same time.
