If we set 3 points then we will have a square wave plus the first half and so on. And this can go to really big number but it will always be proportional to the length.
What I mean by "don't care about tempo" is if the time selection matches the grid that is fine and it will also match the tempo but if we have audio recorded without a tempo track we can specify the length of a bar by selecting it and the envelope will match that.
I hope I am making sense...
I just find myself using this a lot to create effects and strange modulations and I feel that I miss this "sync" feature.
PS I saw there was a deactivated rate option in the script which also Xenakios had it working at some point but then he also removed it. Maybe it is not possible currently.

I think I misunderstood you before. Do I understand correctly that you need to sync the LFO (with a constant frequency) to the *time selection*, not to measures/beats?
For example, you need a dialog box that asks something like "Total number of oscillations in time selection?", and the user can then specify any number greater than zero?
EDIT: The SWS action "Fit selected envelope points to time selection" might also come in handy.
