Help with synchronising bars effect.

[T4Z]

Hello All,
I'm working on a sequence where I want the bars effect to move my garage icicles with the beat. I am also using the same effect to move the other icicles every 4th beat. So far I have fine tuned the "cycles" in the "effect settings" but the timing is not quite bang-on. Is there a more accurate way to synchronise this effect to the beat?
I have attached the sequence and related files as a zip.
Any expertise would be most welcome.

Thanks very much. Taz.

The secret is to know that the colors you define in Bars will cycle one time during the duration of the effect if you have cycles set to 1.0.  So the key is to define your beats on a timing track and make the duration of the effect match up with beat marks.  So if you have 4 colors cycling one time then stretch the duration out 4 beats.  Also you can double click the row heading until you can see the nodes and you'll see whether the color switches happen on your beat timings.  Then just drag it around till it matches.
