A useful technique while practicing difficult passeges is to practice the passage repeatedly with the metronome, slowly at first, then  gradually increasing the tempo by 1 or 2 BPM.

The current metronome interface, while comprehensive, is too clumsy to invoke then dismiss repeatedly, after only a few repititions of the passage each time. Part of this exercise is to get into a "groove" or mindset, which invoking the current metrnome UI interupts. It also takes up too much screen real estate and is not movable.

It would be much more convenient to have a smaller metronome UI, with only the essential controls, that can me moved to a different part of the screen as required.

For this exercise - and much other work with the metronome as well - the only things really needed are start/stop buttons, a tempo display, the +/- buttons and maybe the tempo slider, although the last is not really essential. Any other changes that the normal UI allows, are made much less frequently, and so do not need to be on the mini UI.

Thank you.
