Rather than start a new topic, I thought I'd add to this existing one on metronome refinements...
Global Metronome Disable: I routinely use 2 tablets (Windows or iOS, but Android is a possibility, too) in book mode. I also routinely auto-start the metronome for most songs while performing. I'd like to be able to turn off the metronome on my second tablet to avoid the visual distraction of two metronome indicators blinking out of phase (unless you can get both devices to blink synchronously). I know that I can manually modify metronome configuration (i.e., auto-start setting) on each song, and that I can even do this en masse (apply to all in setlist), but since I maintain synchronized content databases on both devices, I don't want to have to change song-level metronome settings if possible. I do generally avoid synchronizing app settings between devices, so an app-level setting to globally (vs. per song) disable the metronome on one device would work for me. A further refinement would be to automatically display a metronome on only one device when in book mode, particularly when separate songs mode is enabled.
Settings Search: While I'm at it, it would be helpful to have a settings search function (like on iOS, Windows, or Android system settings apps). I had to wade through several pages of settings to ensure that I wasn't asking for something that already existed.
THANKS MIKE!
