peter so basically
peter No tap button. You set the tempo in song details. And it will start playing as soon as you hit play. That way the visual metronome is in time if your song starts directly on a beat. I have tested that and it works pretty well. Of course if your song does not start on a beat, the metronome is not usable but that should not be an issue with lyrics only songs.
Sorry Peter but I don’t see any advantages of the metronome apart from giving you a visual tempo setting if you don’t use backing audio.
If you don’t start on the beat or if your tempo setting is wrong you will be out of sync, so how will it exactly help us , firstly you need to have the song start on the beat secondly if you don’t have an accurate tempo setting it will not be in time and thirdly if you select a song and you perform live on the intro you don’t get a visual metronome so you can confidently use the visual cues to perform so when you start your backing it will be at the correct tempo , all these things are needed otherwise it’s just very simple indicator to help you perform if you don’t use synced lyrics, I was thinking it was going to be a help for everyone , where you can find a tempo of and audio track enter it to the song, once a song is loaded the screen automatically flashes to the songs beat allowing live song intros and once you hit play perhaps then use the first audio loops timecode to sync up to the audio track since most loops begin on the first beat and the first loop is normally an intro.
This way you give us an accurate beat indicator so when backing track starts it mashes nicely and even if you have a gap in your start the first loop pulls the visual click in to perfect sync.
As long as you have an accurate average tempo you will remain in pretty good visual sync for a normal song length , you could use loops beginnings to resync the visual click as most beginnings start on the beat 1.
Anyway just a thought.
If the visual click is not accurate it will be more of a nuisance than an aid, and if it’s to hard to make accurate it won’t be used , if it’s to basic and doesn’t do anything useful it won’t be used.
I won’t say anything else until I see it in action, I’m sure you thought about all this already
