MidiClock is somehow tricky to configure and there is unfortunately  
no manual (at least I didn't find one). I always click on buttons  
more or less randomly until it does someting I can work with. I do  
not remember exactly how the count in works but I remember that I  
couldn't use it how I wanted. But if you can count in and start later  
to play it works. Just exactly at a certain bar is difficult if not  
impossible.

Please ask them to write a short description about the functions.  
Even for freeware it is annoying to see a thing the first time and  
start to mess around for an hour to find out basic functions. And if  
it works it must not be freeware at all ...
