[MU4 Issue] Metronome is sending as regular note all the time via Midi Out device #12552

Open abariska opened 2 years ago

abariska commented 2 years ago

Description In Mu4 metronome is configured as a regular instrument. But due to using Midi channel 1 and note midi events it is sent via Midi output as a regular midi notes. Metronome should have own midi channel to be independent. Also reproducible when MuseScore is opened at the same time with Guitar pro (with opened tab)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create new empty score
  2. Select Midi output to your device (audio interface, synth etc.)
  3. Play the score
  4. Pay attention to the A3 sounding all the time as a metronome

Expected behavior To be discussed

@Tantacrul FYI

@abariska - what's the use case for outputting MIDI to an external device?

Do you think this could be in post beta? I'm curious what you think because it's not something I really have experience with.

@Tantacrul I believe that the case with using external hardware sound modules (synthesizers) is not really common, so we could move it to MU4.x

Just my 2 cents here - I'm using MIDI routed to Ableton to get my sampled drums playing while I notate. It'd be great if the metronome was on its own channel, or, wasn't present in the MIDI if the metronome is disabled.
