Re: Mirror two Ableton sessions inc clip playback...

For that your would need a device that puts a MIDI Start Signal on its own on top of the incoming MIDI Clock stream. Good news: such devices exist. Bad news: they are mostly boutique or DIY.

Re: midi editor ruler setting

Right-click on the grid size number (should be 1/1 for you) in the bottom right corner of the editor, select your desired grid size.
