[PD] dropout save metro

[Enrique Erne]

if the event(s) happen to late i.e after a dropout i wouldn't want it 
to trigger anything.

but on the other hand: i would anyway use it for a counter... then i 
wanted it to count further. if it counts from 1 to 4 and misses the 2th 
event it should go to 3 on the next supposed event to be in sync with 
outside.

the realmetro could have 2 outlets one for events in time the other for 
the ones who are too late.

if i had a realmetro i'd built a realcounter that'd output 1 _ 3 4 5 6

but still no idea how it can get achieved :(
