Just a small thought about the metronome's visual appearance, which has always been a tiny bit disturbing to me. Not sure if everyone would agree, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this..
I often use the metronome in the "visual only" setting, to check the tempo of a piece right before a concert performance for example. After counting four beats, all four metronome dots are cleared (in between the beats) before the first beat is again visualized by the reappearance of the first dot. I'm always a little put off by this extra visual step, and find it makes it actually harder to catch the beat accurately. For me, it would seem better if the three last dots were simply cleared when the first beat was reached again, so that I wouldn't get that extra "double beat" after every fourth beat. Any thoughts?
