The Metronome

The metronome can be set for up to 15-beat time signatures. A chime will sound on the first beat of each measure,
while a metronome "click" will sound on all others. You can also set the time signature to "00," in which case the
chime will not sound and the "click" sound will be heard on all beats.
The metronome will automatically be set to match the time signature and tempo of the selected song or style, but you
can also change the tempo and time signature yourself.
