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 replaces all tempo/meter changes and position markers in existing sessions.
Usage:
python klick2ardour.py <tempomap-file> <ardour-session-file>
The session should not be open in Ardour while running this script. And don't try this on any valuable Ardour session without making a backup copy beforehand :)
