this is simply about the optional separation between JACK transport full/master vs. JACK Timebase master modes: previously it was implicit that you only get qtractor to be a timebase master when it was set as transport master--not anymore: you can keep it as timebase master while not functioning as transport master.
nb.
a) timebase master relates to the musical/metronomic information being delivered to other JACK clients (tempo, bar, beat, ticks, time-sig. etc.).;
b) transport modes relate to linear playback location sync and state (stopped vs. rolling).
