[LAD] Time & How to approach it

Hey all,

I've been dev-ing MIDI/audio programs in C++ & Python for a while, but I'm
struggling with one concept:
How to approach time. If i want to "schedule" events for the future, what
is the "correct"
way to do this?

I've read some docs about Jack's timebase & transport system, ideally I
want to support that,
but I dont seem to grasp the "whole".

I could write a class that has a "MIDI clip" inside it, and then play back
multiple
of these clips from thier classes. Or should I approach more along the
lines of each
MIDI clip being inside a std::vector<MidiClip>?

How does eg: Seq24, Ardour, RoseGarden etc approach the time management?
I've attempted to read docs/sources, but the projects are too big for me to
understand
how the "time-system" works.

Hope somebody could shed some light on this, -Harry

PS: If there's a tutorial or simple example I could read, please say, I've
googled but not found
any tutorial on the subject.
