Feature request: general volume could be accessed directly #56

Like your app a lot, thanks !

To change the general volume of the metronome, we have to click on the "parameters" icon on the left of the UI. Then we can move the volume cursor and there is no other parameter that can be changed at this place.

Instead, it would be easier to have the volume cursor directly into the UI to change the general volume of the metronome.

EDIT: Sorry, in fact, the "parameter" icon give access to the volume of all the notes. So it would be nice to have a general volume for the metronome (easier to change in the UI than with the hardware buttons for example when playing with a band)

I understand, that sometime it is annoying to use the hardware buttons for changing the volume and a software solution would be nice. At the moment it is a bit difficult how to implement this in the UI. As you say, it would be good to be as accessible as possible, but on the other side it is not mandatory for the metronome and so should not unnecessarily clutter the default screen. So, at the moment I have no really good idea how to do it. There are already more elements on the main screen than I like. At other threads I pointed out, that such additional features would maybe go best with a UI redesign. But this is quite a lot of work, so I can't do this short term. And even if I started a new design, I can't say if I will find a good solution ...
