Thanks James. It's really clear for me now.

The only thing that is relevant is the relationship between the "inter-onset interval" between notes (in Events, the \delta time converted into seconds, i.e. ~delta / thisThread.clock.tempo) and the envelope's attack and release phases. Tempo only *seems* to be relevant because it changes the inter-onset interval in seconds, but it isn't the only thing that changes the inter-onset interval. So, a "fix" for the issue that involves only the clock's tempo is not a valid fix.

Your initial example with tempo = 3 beats/sec had overlaps because 0.3 - ((1 - 0.5) / 3) = 0.14-something, but no overlaps at tempo = 1 because the formula gives -0.2 seconds of overlap in that case. That test by itself seems to point to tempo, but it ignores other factors that are no less important.
