Hi Rick,

I think I figured out what was happening. When Ardour reaches its End 
marker the transport_play  message will fail, i.e. it behaves exactly as 
if I were clicking on the Play button (no go). So Grace is working fine, 
Ardour is doing what it's supposed to, and some message combinations 
should probably be avoided. :)

Sorry for the noise.

Best,
