Still a useful advice. I wasn't aware of the BPM counter.

Thanks for the pointer, I just tried MidiClock. No more sync errors  
in Logic, but unfortunately it doesn't do what I need: I want to tap,  
say, four times and have the sequencer start with the fifth tap. Thus  
the sequencer and my tapping are immediately in sync. Logic's tempo  
interpreter does this (if it would work properly).
This is probably what MidiClock's "count in" is supposed to do, but I  
can't get it to work. The internal metronome of MidiClock starts  
clicking with the first tap and continues clicking after the fourth,  
and also changes tempo when I change the rate of my tapping. But  
that's all, Logic doesn't start and no MIDI clock messages appear at  
the MIDI output (it does both when Midi Clock's "count in" is off).  
Also MidiClock cannot be stopped anymore, I have to quit it.

Seems like a bug to me. I'll contact the makers of MidiClock.
