This ad-free metronome allows the entry of custom rhythms to helpmusicians play in time when playing songs with complex rhythms.Rhythms can be made up of whole notes down to sixteenth notes(including dotted notes, triplets, and ties) and rests of similar duration.Time signatures can be specified to accentuate the clicks on thedownbeat and slightly accentuate every second beat (or third beat ine.g., 6/8 time).The tempo can be entered with a keyboard, selected among a drop-down listof Italian tempo markings, or adjusted with buttons.The rhythm and tempo can be saved in the applications memory.The rhythm can also be copied to and pasted from the clipboard.Go to the import/export screen (accessed through the big "floppy disc"button icon) for this.This metronome is audio-only and does not provide "visual clicks".An advanced entry mode (reached by clicking on the "keyboard" icon on thekeyboard) allows for the entry of notes, rests and time signatures ofarbitrary duration.E.g.,: Enter "n1/32" for a thirty-second note, "n3/64" for a dottedthirty-second note, "n1/7" for a septuplet (seven notes in the time ofone); "r1/64" for a sixty-fourth rest;"t7/4" for a 7-over-4 time signature.It is also possible to group notes with parenthesis.Individual notes and rests and groups can be played multiple times byappending an asterisk and a number.E.g.,: "(n1/2n1/4*2)*3" would play three times:half-note, quater-note, quater-note.

Use the arrow keys on the keyboard tomove. Use the import/export screen (accessed through the big "floppy disc" button icon) to copy or paste.If the application sleeps for too long, the rhythm entry might be replacedby "x". I suggest you save your rhythms often, and reload them if thathappens.----Source code is available at:https://github.com/robertre2/ch.e7n.metronome----Attributions:The metronome click soundtrack is from soundbible.com "Metronome",recorded by Mike Koenig, license: Creative commons attribution 3.0.The musical note images where generated with Lilypond (www.lilypond.org).Some of the code was based on Periklis Ntanasiss BeatKeeper(https://github.com/MasterEx/BeatKeeper).
