I've been wanting the same thing. Maybe a simple JACK transport
master that, given the number of beats per bar, waits for one bar's
worth of taps (from some given input device) and starts the transport
at that BPM. Like when Dee Dee Ramone yells "1, 2, 3, 4!"
Maybe I'll try to write such a program, and name it DeeDee.
