Metronome improvements
Two suggestions:
1) Show the BPM at which the metronome is running.
2) Adjustable clicks per beat (1 to 16) would be great. It could be useful to avoid 'silence' between main clicks when practice in slow mode. Furthermore it helps in songs with 'fancy' rhythms.
3) Add volume control to metronome.

Definitely adding the BPM at which the metronome is running for songs would be a great add, additionally, I think this request has been downplayed, I mean if you gather all the different threads that are, in essence, requesting the BPM on songs, it would make a much larger number of users as if you take each individual question... just sayin'
In my case, I want to practice with SoundBrenner metronome and Yousician to help me achieve better timing and overall performance.
Thanks

+1 for subdivision. This would greatly help practicing with slower bpm

I'm using Piano with an Android tablet and a midi keyboard. Embedded Mixer tool has Piano voice only. It would be very useful to add background song and metronome volumes knobs, since I'm using another Android app to generate piano voice, and cannot balance its voice respect bg music and/or metronome.

BPM visible when slowing down a song would make practicing when not following the bouncing ball much easier. Set a metronome and play at the same speed you have been in the app.

Hey guys, I have an idea or my suggestion for your app, I will just spill it n then it's yours choice to put it in new update and the suggestion is like u guys have a great extraordinary tool n that's the Metronome but I have just thinked of it like a new update to Metronome like counting the number of beats we play in a sec/min like it's gonna help in newer level like we people can challenge ourselves while playing the beats for the beginners when setting up their finger n then playing the beats and metronome listens to it n counts n then they would know how much beats they can play in a min or some secs mean for increasing the rate of their progression by challenging them to win their last maximum beats played record. N a funny thing, today was my first day using the Metronome with the help of my friend and in that vary moment I just thinked of this idea🤣
And sorry for my poor English💔
And this all I want to tell and now it's your choice/decision to implement it on new update and I'll be waiting for it😁 -

Also have the ability to emphasise the first beat in each bar

I think this would be great as it would also remove the arbitrary 125% restriction that's currently in place on the top end of practice mode.
I'd love to be able to practice scales and arpeggios in the app at a faster speed than currently possible using bpms as my measure (which would help me match my skills to the songs I'm trying to play). Thanks

Many scores of music don't have a suggested BPM number, but will instead use words like "Largo", "Andante", "Presto" etc..
When studying a new piece, if I see "Allegro", for example, I don't have the BPM range (about 120-168) memorized, so it would be great if, when adjusting the BPM in the metronome, the corresponding tempo word would be displayed. So, if I set the BPM to 130, I'll see "Allegro" displayed as well. -

I would like to be able to select songs by BPM. Some of the songs are Too fast for a beginner. Very discouraging.

When speed increases in percents in practice mode, the increase gets larger when the speed increases. I'd rather have it so that I could control the speed increments by BPM. For example, increase the speed always by 3 BPM. This way the speed increase is less dramatic and frustrating than it is currently. Now I need to manually adjust the speed, which is really difficult to do accurately (there's another issue about that).

This above-requested feature will be so good...
- when I'm writing songs in notepad and need the metronome on
- when I'm practicing a song looking at the chords in chrome and need the metronome on
I'm sure it will have many more benefits.
thank you so much :) -

I forgot to say that my suggestion was based on the comments for the suggestion "In song practice mode, widen the speed adjustment bar" by Mike, which is avaliable here: https://yousician.uservoice.com/forums/296820-feature-requests/suggestions/33009514-in-song-practice-mode-widen-the-speed-adjustment

Yousician uses percentage to set the tempo of a song, when in Practice Mode, but I think this is not very relative. Also, it could fumble users. I think using BPM (beats per minute) is better.
Thus, users can identify the tempo of a song.
And, users who have Premium or Premium+ can train the song by using a metronome.
The difference is that, on the normal tempo, the percentage is 100% on all songs, but the BPM is different.
So, BPM is better than percentage. -

Is it possible to add a timer in the metronome, it would be convenient.

Add in a volume control to the metronome.

Agree, I play through a Zoom B3 and would like to hear my instrument mixed with the Yousician output to be able to use headphones.

This might be helpful.

Display BPM (beats per minute. It would help to practice with the same speed outside of yousician.

add to this... the volume level of the video tutorials,....

I think that we should be able to adjust the volume levels of the different tracks, of imported songs.... I'd also like to be able to set the volume of the menu music, and coaching voice,.... as well as, the volume of the the guitar synth, song, and metronome....it would be very cool, if these mixer settings were accessible not only in the main settings... but in the pause menu as well..
