Rhythmic Metronome

By Robert R. Enderlein

This ad-free metronome permits the entry of custom rhythms to help

musicians play in time when playing songs with advanced rhythms.

Rhythms may be made up of whole notes right down to sixteenth notes

(including dotted notes, triplets, and ties) and rests of comparable period.

Time signatures may be specified to accentuate the clicks on the

downbeat and slightly intensify every second beat (or third beat in

e.g., 6/8 time).

The tempo could be entered with a keyboard, selected among a drop-down list

of Italian tempo markings, or adjusted with buttons.

The rhythm and tempo could be saved in the utility's reminiscence.

The rhythm can additionally be copied to and pasted from the clipboard.

Go to the import/export screen (accessed through the large floppy disc

button icon) for this.

This metronome is audio-only and doesn't provide visual clicks.

An superior entry mode (reached by clicking on the keyboard icon on the

keyboard) permits for the entry of notes, rests and time signatures of

arbitrary duration.

E.g.,: Enter n1/32 for a thirty-second notice, n3/64 for a dotted

thirty-second observe, n1/7 for a septuplet (seven notes in the time of

one); r1/64 for a sixty-fourth rest;

t7/4 for a 7-over-4 time signature.

It can be possible to group notes with parenthesis.

Individual notes and rests and groups could be played multiple occasions by

appending an asterisk and a quantity.

E.g.,: (n1/2n1/4*2)*3 would play three times:

half-note, quater-note, quater-note.

Known bugs:

The rhythm entry area does not permit moving the cursor by tapping,

making selections, or copy/pasting. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to

move. Use the import/export display (accessed

through the large floppy disc button icon) to repeat or paste.

If the applying sleeps for too lengthy, the rhythm entry could be replaced

by x. I suggest you save your rhythms often, and reload them if that

happens.
