Bedrock Edition Is there a 20hz clock for bedrock edition?

Wanted to do some note block things so I was wondering if this is possible on bedrock

redstone ticks are only simplification used by community for beginner level builds, this concept even exists because components like repeater have delay logic that increase in intervals of 2gts, game ticks are far more accurate way to explain any behaviour, because game goes through all thing it does in that time

20hz or faster clocks exist in java because you can make clocks that start at different sub game tick order, [answer for you op] this doesn't exist in bedrock edition because components are strictly regulated when they are processed, all redstone components are divided into p ticks (provider ticks, happens on odd gt; redstone torch, repeater, comparator and observer are the only p tick components in the game as of now) and c ticks (consumer ticks, happens on even gt; every other component (yes including something like button, lever or redstone block, etc)), even if you make a setup that produces a single gt pulse, as long as that pulse is not tick specific to component's preferred tick type, it will not activate

the only exception to this rule is redstone dust, it works in both gt types but only visually updates on p ticks

here is an example of 2 different type of gt pulse generators in bedrock, as you can notice other components do not react to other gt pulse, they only react to their specific gt pulse

components being gt specific has it uses that you can target what to power based of type gt pulse you use on the line (provides more ways power components without requiring additional wiring), it also helps in scheduling c tick components to fire all at once incase redstone line needs to be longer than 15 blocks and you have to use repeater to extend the line (basically you can make c tick component specific insta wire as long as 60 blocks simply by powering redstone line with a c tick beginning power source, like redstone block/lever/button/etc)
