Add Bar Count #48

Open yaktender opened 2 years ago

yaktender commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I have tried your metronome app and it looks slick and works great! I was wondering if there was a way to add a bar count to the metronome app? For ex., you could choose 12 bars and it would display the current bar and just reset it to 1 after 12 bars are complete. This would help with keeping track a song or a form.

It could replace the first 1 on the bottom screen and iterate to 12 and then reset to 1.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. I understand the motivation and that it would be very convenient in some situations.

Technically, implementing such a thing is not a bit deal, but at the moment I see no nice way to integrate it in the UI.

And ideally, when introducing a feature to deal with whole songs, one would maybe expect something like change the rhythm patterns and bpm at a specific bars.

So maybe this feature would need a complete new "tab" where we can control patterns, speed and maybe even stop the metronome after a specific count. However, this would be very time consuming and at the moment I have no plans to integrate this. Sorry to say this.

I will keep the issue open, lets see what time brings ....

Hello, thanks for the quick feedback. It could be added on the top where the bpm is shown and be able to change it the same way you can click the bpm to change. Obviously this is just a suggestion, feel free not to add it if you don't think this is a good feature or does not go well with the UI. Thanks again.
