Check.

It can't be - you might have skipped the last step, so it would never reach
it. It's determined by the 'effective length' of the pattern - i.e. the
number of non-skipped steps. Changing tbase will stretch individual steps -
so your total length of pattern may be odd to say the least...

If you send me a sysex dump of it (or just describe the single pattern in
text) I can check how long I think it should last.
