 ==== Tips and Tricks ====
 === Host Clock Sync ===
 When running as a plugin miRack can be synced (or not) to the host clock. Setup can be somewhat unintuitive. Here are the most accurate and stable settings:
-  * Add the **host sync** module if not already present.
+  * Add the //host sync// module if not already present.
   * Double click on the module title to bring up the menu and set **CLOCK Rate** to **Beat / 8**.
-  * Add the **Clocked** module.
+  * Add the //Clocked// module.
-  * Patch host sync **clock** to Clocked **BPM** (yes, this is correct!)
+  * Patch host sync **Clock** to Clocked **BPM** (yes, this is correct!)
-  * Tap **Mode +** until **P8** is displayed in the LCD. This tells clock to set the bpm based on the Beat / 8 setting we made in the host sync module.
+  * Tap **Mode +** until **P8** is displayed in the LCD. This tells Clocked to set the bpm based on the Beat / 8 setting we made in the host sync module.
   * Double-tap the Clocked module title and and set **Momentary RUN Input** to on (checkmark).
   * Patch **Run** from host sync to Clocked **Run**.
   * (optional) patch host sync **Stop** to Clocked **Reset**.
+=== Sync miRack Across Devices Using Ableton Link ===
+(This may be a temporary workaround. As of 2023-12-28 the clock output from the Link module is unstable, and there doesn't seem to be any way start/stop transport or set the tempo from within miRack.)
+The following steps apply to each miRack instance:
+  - Go to miRack settings and enable **Link** and **Link Start/Stop**.
+  - Add the //Link// module.
+    - Don't patch it to anything.
+    - Double-tap the module title to bring up the menu and enable "Use for Transport Control" and "Enable Link Start/Stop".
+  - Add the //host sync// module (yes, even if in standalone mode).
+    - Bring up the module menu and set CLOCK Rate to Beat / 8.
+  - Add the //Clocked// module.
+    - Bring up the module menu and set **Momentary RUN Input** on (**checked**).
+    - Tap the **BPM Mode +** button until **P8** is displayed. This tells Clocked to use the host sync beat / 8 output.
+    - Patch host sync **Run** to Clocked **Run** and **Clock** to Clocked **BPM**. (Yes, this is correct.)
+Use another app such as AUM to start/stop transport and set BPM.
