Follow actions out of sync

I have a 4 Bar MIDI clip comprised of 1/8 th notes. The Clip time signature is set to 4/4 by default. I have the Follow actions set so that the clip triggers itself after one bar.

In a Live Set whose master Time Signature is 3/4, I want the clip to re-trigger after 1 Bar (ie: 3 quarter-note beats). Instead, the clip always re-triggers after 4 beats. I have set the Clip Quantization to Global but it still doesn't work. It only syncs when I change the Clip time signature to match the master time signature and then re-adjust the follow action time to 1 bar.

Is this supposed to work this way? Does the "Global" Clip Quantize setting do nothing with regard to follow actions?

how many beats is your clip?

did you just say your clip is 4/4 but your set is 3/4?

The clip is 16 quarter-note beats long. It was recorded in a 4/4 Live Set, hence the the Clip time signature is 4/4. It is already set up for follow actions, re-triggering itself after 1 bar (and ignoring the remaining notes in the clip). I now want to use the same clip in a 3/4 Live Set without having to change the clip's time signature and adjust follow actions OR re-set the clip's length.

I thought that if the clip quantization was set to Global, that the follow actions would follow the Global time signature of whatever Live Set it was in automatically, re-triggering every time the SET hits its 1 downbeat.

Apparenty this is not the case.

i know I can reconfigure the follow actions for the Clip for every Set I use it in but I thought i wouldn't have to.
