The metronome count in repeats every time the whole rhythm cycles back to the beginning. I think the count in should occur only the first time.

This would be extremely useful implementation for learning new exercises as well as perfecting exercises I already know. For example, let’s say you have a warm up exercise starting at a slow tempo like 40 BPM and be able to increase 100 BPM over a period of 3 minutes. I’d like the option for the click to keep increasing until I find a point of tempo where I burnout or be able to increase to the desired tempo and leave it there. Ideally we could program the amount of BPM increase, the interval of time between 1-20 mins or so and the option of continuing to increase the tempo after the desired interval is reached. The increase in tempo could happen after a measure passes so the increase feels gradual, maybe some additional options can be suggested but those are the essential options I can think of at this time. This feature could be very useful for an entire exercise, etude for testing and fine tuning a difficult section. I could see use cases for this both for individual practice as well as working within an ensemble.

I would love to see BN include a comprehensive metronome for practice and live use. The layout of GapClick is so useful, in particular for scrolling the wheel to increase / decrease tempo. I mainly need to set up a tempo playlist. I would also like to see the screen flash time on the beats without the typical use of numbers. Perhaps this is a toggle on / off option to show the numerical count or not? I imagine this metronome could be toggled on / off, and float on the screen in a smaller box. The box could be moveable around the screen, as iPad allows with small windows. This could allow us to use playback, edit, etc while keeping the metronome window open or not. Perhaps it is shaped like a horizontal rectangle to accommodate both iPad and iPhone screens? I believe this will further enhance BN by allowing the click to be seen as well as heard, plus provide a new standard tool for development of students with-in the app. I would use it on stage for tempo references and jumps. Another use case could be hitting playback and drumming along… as the notation window naturally scrolls down we’d be able to see the floating window metronome flashing time or marking bars, possibly even counting visually and audibly.

I want to be able to turn an accent on or off for the first beat of the click.
