Count in before every loop (as option)
No explicit, hateful, or hurtful language. Nothing illegal.
It seems like a good idea to have the possibility of a metronome count-in on loops. I don't think you need any additional controls. Just treat the start of a loop with some number of beats between loops the same as the start of a song with regard to the metronome.
Today, the metronome menu has this toggle:
- Only run before song starts
- Always running
- Count-in the song
- Count-in each loop
- Tick continuously
If you are going to add an option, I think a real Off rather than conflating off with volume would be a better choice:
- Off
- Count-in
- Run
My new suggestions are all independent on/off toggles. If you turn all three off, you get a real off. If you turn all three on, the metronome would tick before, during the song, and during loop count-ins. The default would probably be the first two options enabled. It is perhaps too fine-grained.jimhenry wrote:... I think a real Off rather than conflating off with volume would be a better choice
Yours has a nice simplicity to it. And a set of choices where you pick one is easier to wrap your head around than lots of separate choices. Hmm.
Yes, this is another weakness in the "tick continuously" wording.jimhenry wrote:... the metronome never really ticks continuously but only when a song is being played, which is a good thing.
