live_loops auto-generate cue events that other live_loops can sync on for phase alignment

Each live_loop emits a cue event with its own name at the start of every iteration. A second live_loop can contain sync :first_loop_name to wait for the first loop’s boundary before proceeding. This locks their phases together without stopping. The preferred remedy for two loops that have drifted out of phase: fix sleep values to produce a compatible ratio, then add sync to snap phase.

Examples

live_loop :foo do play :e4, release: 0.5 sleep 0.5 end

live_loop :bar do sync :foo sample :bd_haus sleep 1 end

Assessment

Start two live_loops that drift (sleep 0.4 vs sleep 1). Describe what you hear. Then add sync to fix it without stopping either loop.
