Metronome 1005/30/2023 ![]() The “downbeat” name doesn’t cover other musical traditions, according to Paul Davis, but I took it from the MuseScore sources so we have a connection to the code. The weblog entry at has further information, including a picture and a table!Ĭross-link to … for the listing at the Polyphone soundfont directory. I think I get it, but it’s not something I’ve encountered yet.) Maybe someone who knows TimeSigFrac::rtick2beatType well can explain what this really means. (Use velocity 25 for compound subbeat, 15 for subbeat. This is, again, exactly what mu͒ itself does. Then select only the unstressed beats (in a 4/4 time signature, that’s the second and fouth note, both “tack”) and change their Velocity to 80. Set the Velocity type to “User” (in order to use absolute velocities) and the Velocity to 127 at first. ![]() Now select all the metronome notes and open up Inspector (F8). (Using other pitches than the two shown above will not generate any sound!) I did this to make reusing the existing instrument, which does it this way around, possible.) When reusing a pitched stave, the F₅ might need a ♮ accidental if you’re in a sharp key signature, mind. (Yes, the “high” one has a lower MIDI note number than the “low” one. Using a 4/4 time signature as example, this means four quarter notes: tick tack tack tack “tack”, F₅ or Low Woodblock on all other beats.“tick”, E₅ or High Woodblock on the downbeat (first beat in a measure).Leave its volume at 100, which is only a tad louder than MuseScore’s clicks but makes it easier to distinguish the stressed mid-measure beat. Now switch the patch for the chosen instrument in the Mixer (F10) to “Metronom”, which is from the new SoundFont. To use the soundfont, add it to the Mixer (but make sure it’s below the other soundfonts to not mess up their order!) and then either add an unpitched percussion stave (the Wood Blocks instrument in MuseScore is set up correctly for this) or a pitched regular stave (or reuse one I used a mid-stave instrument change to put the “count in” clicks on the Soprano stave). ![]() ![]() I’ve tracked down the origins of the metronome clicks used in MuseScore and talked with Paul Davis, who generated them for Ardour, from which it made its way into mu͒2 via MusE. ![]()
