Select a note value for the number of clicks to
3
sound in each measure. For a dotted-note click
value, select the dot (.) option.
For some meters, it may be desirable to use
a dotted value for the click. For instance, if
using a meter of 6/8, a dotted quarter note
click (yielding two clicks per measure) is
generally more suitable than a straight
eighth note click (six clicks per measure).
Click Apply to insert the new meter event. The
