Metronome Settings

Open this sheet whenever you want to make the click more distinctive or punch up the downbeat accent. Because it is accessible at any time during score viewing, it also works well for a final check right before a show.

What You Can Do Here

• Choose the metronome voice
• Preview the audio to hear how it will come across
• Toggle whether the downbeat (beat 1) gets an accent
• Toggle the bouncing ball that bounces on each beat along the timeline
• Set the default bar patterns and voice used when Voice Count is enabled for a song for the first time
• Tune the click for intelligibility on your current output setup

When to Use It

A setting that sounds clear in a quiet room may not cut through in a rehearsal or show venue. Think of this sheet — accessible while the score is open — as the place to do your final tweak while listening through the actual output.

Voice Count Defaults

Set the default bar selections and voice for Count Every Beat, Half-Time First Half, and Half-Time Second Half. These values initialize Voice Count when you first enable it for a song in Item Settings. They do not overwrite settings already saved for individual songs.

For a song that should play Voice Count, enable it in Item Settings and verify the count-in or target bars. The metronome must be on during playback.

If You Get Stuck

• If the metronome click is inaudible, check the output volume. Verify that the metronome output destination is set correctly in Mixer Settings.
• If the tempo or beat feel seems off, review the Anchor cue settings. You can check the tempo baseline in Cue Details.
• If Voice Count is silent, check that it is enabled for the song in Item Settings, that the target bars match the time signature, and that the metronome is on during playback.
