Sync counters Reason 5 with DP7 song w/meter changes

Help!! MOTU DP7 is running a song in 4/4 meter for 10 bars with Reason rewired and tempo and counters in sync. While song is still running, @ 11th bar DP7 has meter change to 6/4 for one bar and Reason pauses for about 7 seconds and recalculates bars for entire song now in 6/4 meter. Now DP7 counter and Reason counter are out of sync, 11|1|0 and 8|1|0 respectively, but music play is still OK. At 12th bar meter returns to 4/4, music play is still in sync but DP7 and Reason counters are out of sync...12|1|0 and 12|3|0 respectively.

This functionality seemed to work on my old Mac Pro G5 with 10.4.11 but not on my newer iMac nor on my OLD G4 power book w/same 10.4.11 OS.

I've tried uninstalling both DP7 and Reason and all are running most recent versions. Same issue seems to happen with Logic.

This sounds more like a Reason or Rewire issue than a DP issue, especially if DP's readout and playback are both correct. Seems like I tried to do time sig changes with Rewire and had problems, but it's been too many years ago to recall the specifics.
