Miscellaneous

klick2ardour.py is a Python script that reads klick tempo maps and writes them to Ardour session files. It does not create new Ardour sessions, but rather replaces all tempo/meter changes and position markers in existing sessions.

Usage:

klick2ardour.py <tempomap> <ardour-session-file>

Don't try this on any valuable Ardour session without making a backup copy beforehand :)
