If you have a piece in 6/8 time and you are counting it 2 beats to the measure. Set the
Time Signature to 2/4 and the Note Value to the quarter note. You will hear two beats
with a different click on the first beat.
Some odd time signatures, like 5/4, cannot be represented with this metronome. For
pieces like these select the 1/4 time signature and the quarter note. This will just sound
like a regular metronome clicking a beat at the tempo you specified.
Metronome Options
The audio option makes the typical “tick tick” sound of a metronome. To hear this you
must use external speakers or headphones. The visual option creates a small box on the
top of toolbar (or near the top of the music in the case of performance mode) that flashes
at the rate of the specified tempo. The first beat in a measure is red instead of black.
To use the audio/visual options
1
With the Metronome open, click the Options button.
2
In the separate Options window that displays, tap Audio and/or Visual .
3
Click Close .
