What is this?

The metronome in the PDF viewer is a full-featured metronome as a tool right in the sheet music view. You do not need to open a separate metronome app — keeping tempo and reading sheet music happens in one window.

Use

  1. Open the PDF in the Sheet music tab
  2. Tap the metronome icon in the toolbar
  3. Set the tempo with the slider or by typing
  4. Tap start — visual beat at the top of the screen + audible click
  5. Stop when done

Features

  • BPM range: 20-300
  • Tap tempo — tap five times, the app calculates the average tempo
  • Selectable time signature: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8
  • Accent on 1 (can be turned off)
  • Sound options: click, wood, stick, drum
  • Volume adjustable independently of the device master
  • Visual beat as a dot animation, useful in silent mode

When is it useful?

  • Rehearsal room without a metronome — quick fix
  • Solo practice at home — no app switching
  • Tempo comparison — composer marks "Allegro quarter=120", check quickly
  • Practice difficult passages slowly — gradually increase tempo
  • Section work with several people — everyone hears the same tempo

Tips

  • Use the accent — the first beat of a bar helps you stay oriented
  • Visual beat for silent rehearsal rooms
  • Tap tempo is faster than the slider when you only need a rough tempo
  • Bluetooth headphones — metronome click in your ear, the choir sings around you
