Metronome problem.

[Charlie Simpson]

Hi, since the last update, the metronome is now very slow to load. When I go into the metronome it opens immediately but the fields are blank for around 15 seconds until they are populated. In itself that isn't a real problem but when I link songs together,  the metronome doesn't immediately change speeds when I change songs, but, again waits, which isn't ideal. I don't usually use the metronome on Sundays but it is useful when pract as I am older than I was and my judgement of song speeds isn't as acute as it once was!!!

Not a major problem, but it would be nice to have it fixed. 

Regards,

One nice thing about the metronome which seems to be new is that the red 'beat' on a white background is now very  easy to see.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your information.  I can see an issue with the metronome taking a while to set up, which likely is related to the tempo changing when moving between songs taking too long.  I've figured out how to improve this and it seems to rectify your issue.  

For info, the metronome tempo usually only changes at the end of the last bar playing once it is ready, so if you have a song with a very slow tempo and change songs on beat 1, you will have to wait until after beat 4 before the new tempo starts (assuming you are in 4/4).

It sounds like you are enjoying the light theme.  You can go back to a dark menu (and song display) from the "Settings > Display > Edit or change current theme" page if you want to check that.  Both metronome colours should be a little more visible in light and dark themes.

The fix for the metronome will be in v6.5.8 and will be released this coming week (I try not to push updates between Friday and Sunday unless there is a major bug since this is when the app needs to be as stable as possible due to highest usage).

Thanks for you continued support in helping improve the app
