## What is Common Time Metronome?

Common Time Metronome is a focused, notation-first metronome for steady, readable practice.

See the current beat in the written bar instead of chasing a blinking light. Set a tempo from 20–300 BPM, tap a tempo, and choose common or irregular meters with explicit groupings such as 2+2+3. Change subdivisions and marks while keeping the bar legible, with support for tuplets and per-beat rhythm editing.

Use a one-bar count-in when you want a clear entrance. Choose the built-in click voice that suits the session, adjust the balance, and continue practice with supported background audio. The app explains how meter, grouping, subdivision, marks, audio routes, and Bluetooth delay affect what you hear and see.

Pro adds saved practice plans and advanced rhythm editing. Product availability and pricing are shown in the app; Restore Purchases is available from the purchase screen.

Bluetooth, AirPods, and AirPlay can add listening delay. For the closest response, use the built-in speaker or wired headphones. If an interruption or route change occurs, confirm the output and start a fresh bar.
