I been using the metronome fairly steady for the last three months and I would like to suggest a few small improvements which would be helpful.
1- Volume
I run Pianoteq along with Mobilesheets on my windows 11 machine (Asio4all sound driver for Pianoteq, windows drivers for Mobilesheets) and there is a substantial volume mismatch. Windows 11 has a a app volume mixer to turn down Mobilesheets, but it forgets the setting as soon as Mobilesheets is closed. For the windows version of Mobilesheets, it would be nice if I could set maximum volume (about 25% in my case) in the options area, and then have the volume slider scale to that volume.
2 Beat subdivisions sound
Beat subdivisions play a different sound then the Fx beat, and while this has lots of merit, (e.g., up beat, down beat) it would be nice to have a switch so the subdivisions will play the same sound as the beat. I often use double timings just to introduce a "think beat" into the practice, and I find a continuous FX sound better.
3 Types of beat subdivisions
I looks like it would be pretty easy to add swing beat subdivisions to metronome. Instead of eights occurring at {0,500} out of 1000, a triplet swing of {0,667} would be helpful, as well as a slightly slower {0,617} Fibonacci (golden ratio) swing and a slow swing of {0, 559}.
Since asymmetrical beat timings like the swings listed above or waltz sways from 3/4 time are nonexistent on traditional metronomes, I am not sure you would want to diverge from the norm. Maybe other people can chime in on whether they would find them useful?
