Per-song metronome

If a song has a BPM set, the editor shows a Practice with metronome button. Click it and the metronome popover opens already configured for that tempo. Hit Play and you're practicing.

It's the one-click loop for "I want to woodshed this song right now."

How it works

1. Open the song editor (click any song row in your library).
2. Above the chord preview, find Practice with metronome.
3. Click it. The metronome panel pops out, pre-set to the song's BPM.
4. Hit the Play button on the panel. The clicker starts.

If the song has no BPM set, the button is hidden — there's nothing for it to pre-fill. Add a BPM to the song first.

What the panel does

• BPM — dial up/down, or type a number. Range 30–300.
• Time signature — 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc. Affects the downbeat accent.
• Sound — pick a click voice.
• Visual-only mode — silence the click, keep the pulse animation. Useful if you're listening to a backing track at the same time.
• Tap tempo — tap four times to set the BPM from your taps.

Persistence

The metronome state (BPM, time signature, sound, etc.) is stored in the metronome provider, not on the song. When you open Practice for a different song, BPM gets overwritten — everything else (time signature, sound preferences) is sticky across sessions.

Tip: You can also reach the metronome from anywhere in the app via the top-nav metronome icon. The per-song button is just the shortcut that pre-fills the BPM.

On stage vs. in practice

On stage, the metronome lives in its own strip at the top of the screen, scoped to the current setlist song. See Metronome on stage for the in-ear broadcast + edge-pulse features. The per-song practice button is just a desk-time helper — no broadcast, no edge pulse.
