I've Given Up on MIDI Sync

Try as I might, I can't get it to work. I've wasted months on this, so it's time to give up and just record the sequences into the Synclavier without the sync feature. Since the tracks will be in sync with each other once in the Synclavier, it really doesn't matter, it just makes the process a bit busier because I have to get the Synclavier recording, then press start in Encore. It would just be tidier if when I pressed play in Encore, the Synclavier would follow along. I've tried this with both MIDI Time Code and MIDI Clock, and still no joy.
