If when using [block~ 16], [vline~]'s logicaltime is 4 blocks in advance, 
then 3, then 2, then 1, then 4 again, etc., I don't see why it wouldn't be 
the same for [tabsend~]. This means [tabsend~] would write four blocks at 
the same logicaltime, and if you expect a [metro] to work here, you get 
always 4 times the same block, which is always the last block of any 
sequence of blocks that shared the same logicaltime.

Can you verify this property of [tabsend~] ?
