You'll need to log this as a Linux P1 regression, Steve.

I've re-tested. I'm not sure if something has changed, or whether it was user error (on my part), but it's working correctly for me now. I'm guessing it was user error.

But I note that it only affects tracks created by recording. Yes, that's why it's in the Recording Preferences. One of the main objectives was to provide a way to know when events in the recording occurred (enable the timestamp option, and add the Timeline time to the time logged in the track name)...

(not sure if there is a protocol here to mark a topic "solved" or otherwise closed...) Often we leave topics open, but if there's a clear resolution of the issue, then one of the moderators may decide to close it so that the solution remains at (or near) the end of the topic. I'll close t...

Audacity does not have MIDI clock control, or Jack Transport control, and you can't get the play position from scripting commands.
