Hmm you could use (midi-signature) to decide which portion of the script should be used.

It would be easy to make a script totally signature-independent: just forget beat and clock are discrete values and convert to floats between 0.0 and 1.0... Or combine both values to get a single float.
Example: the (3 2 6) position in 4/4 (4 beats by bar, and a beat equals a quarter note or 24 clocks) could be converted to (3 0.5 0.25) or even (3 0.5625)

The "artistic" nature of the script will determine if discrete or continuous values are better (e.g. if sth noticeable should happen every beat, or if it's a smooth animation)...

Maybe should I provide (midi-clocks-per-beat) and (midi-beats-per-bar) instead of or together with (midi-signature)!
