You might also want to have a look at [Inaccurate time intervals for a Metronome](https://discourse.processing.org/t/inaccurate-time-intervals-for-a-metronome/2463/10?u=neilcsmith)

The code looks good apart from the auto restart with `startT = millis()` - this will accumulate errors, although may be what you want - fixed rate or fixed delay?
