== Metronome ==
+
+This plugin demonstrates tempo synchronisation by clicking on every beat. The
+host sends this information to the plugin as events, so an event with new time
+and tempo information will be received whenever there is a change.
+
+Time is assumed to continue rolling at the tempo and speed defined by the last
+received tempo event, even across cycles, until a new tempo event is received
+or the plugin is deactivated.
