Traditional mechanical metronomes have an arm that swings which gives the musician a visual cue about the tempo / pulse. This is useful for when musicians want to play slightly ahead or behind the beat, or just to have an additional cognitive signal of the pulse.
Digital metronomes accomplish this with a small light that flashes on the pulse, which is helpful but doesn't necessarily assist with playing ahead of or behind the beat.
What kind of visual element might be used for this app? Perhaps the background flashes a color on the pulse, similar to digital metronomes. Or perhaps something simulating an mechanical metronome's arm that helps a musician play slightly off beat? The first option would be simpler to implement, while the second would require more design considerations.
