Referee Report Points:

The ref says, "Here, I list some points which should be added/clarified:"

1. Discussion on the mass-to-flux ratio / inflow boundaries: This should be complemented with a plot showing the total gas mass (and/or the column density) in the simulation box as a function of time. This plot should then also show the total mass-to-flux ratio as a function of time.
2. Protocluster formation and evolution: Again, a plot showing the mass evolution of the sink particles would be very helpful. Also the mass accretions as function of time would be illustrative. Give a plot of mass 1 Myr after formation. X
3. Furthermore, it is not clear why younger clusters (later formation time) have a higher final mass. Please include a discussion (helpful with the above mentioned plots). Have this plot for the S0 case, will send him this one. X
4. The cartoons (Fig. 5) on the magnetic ring model are confusing: It looks like that a ring like structure (resp. spherical bubble) is expanding in the plane of the flows, i.e. in the xz-plane. This is certainly not true (see Fig. 3). For the cartoons it would be better to use two different views, according to the numerical setup, i.e. a view in the yz- and a xz-plane.
5. About the discussion on the impact of shear/power spectra: Here, it would be also useful to show the generated vorticity. E.g., an increasing vorticity could also explain the reduced star formation.
