That is so wrong?

The signature depends on what/how your playing. If your playing regular music 4/4 is all you need but if your doing something like the waltz then its 3/4. I've even made stuff on 6/8 and various other sigs. It just changes the feel of the music.

It's a shame that I haven't install this yet

wow.. i was really hopen someone else would say this so i would have to look like the noob but how do i put this on my Zune 80gb?

and this is my first time to this site so if this isnt the place to ask this just say so and im do it right

[DiNoGames]

Please take a look at THIS thread...

It describes how to deploy games and apps to the Zune.

You will notice this when listening to the ticking sound. I will investigate where the problem lies (but it seems to me that the SoundEffect.Play method needs differing time to play a sound each time it is called). Away from that I think the timing works well in the lower regions. It should work fine at least until 120 bpm. But I am no musician so please test it out yourself.

Srry to hear that it can only handle 208 bpm, but i would love for it to at leasts go as high as 240 bpm. Anyways, I love this metronome and I-Pod can't do sh*t about it.

I'm a musician, not a very good one, but i know the basics so I'll test this app and get back to you

it's ok, but it needs more options, such as 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, ect... (any musician know what I'm talking about)and for those who don't, you currently have it set to go on every note, in 1/4 it will only go on the first note of every measure of 4 notes, 2/4 is the same with the second note and so on. and the bpm should not be set i increments of 2 but allow increments of 1 as well( there are few but some songs that require these strange bpms and if it is off by 1 bpm it can throw the musician completely off tempo) but other than that It's pretty good

I might not download it. But I speak for everyone when I say, "No Pics, No Clicks."

I doubt you do, as you can see, many people have downloaded this without the need of screenshots. They are optional for the developer as in-game screenshots are a bit hard to take if:
a) you dont have a camera
b) you only wrote the game for the zune and not Windows

I did not make the app to get as much bandwidth overload on my webspace as possible. I made it just for people that have a use for it. For people that don't complain about things they get for free. But anyway, I added a screenshot, just to satisfy people that need one (even if the graphics are somewhat regardless in a metronome).

Oh, and Silent545:
I will take a look at this when I have some more time. I am working at double capacity on Valgard's Fate at the moment, so there is no time for other things right now... When I get some air to breathe again, I will add this (in fact I will delete the bpm-ring, because thats the part that constrains me in bpm selection).

nice app man. I don't like to have to set up a lot when I play guitar, and it's great to just pull out my zune from my pocket and have a metronome.

[gpdude]

I play trumpet and this will awsome during marching band!!!!!!!

[JBoog517]

thank you man Im loving

[mac39]

yay i know I'll use this I'm a musician!

[Bman22]

well most metronomes have the ability to produce an a for tuning. That would be an awesome feature. If it helps an A is at 440 cycles a second

[vudmaska]

thanks heaps, i've been hoping someone would make something like this.

[Zenaku]

This is an awesome application, thanks a bunch!

hahahah:-P time signature wont change the bpm its the tempo u can find it on the sheet music of w.e piece of music ur readin.

[project_isaac]

nice.
besides being a great way to keep time if you're playing a musical instrument, metronomes are a great way to get to sleep and drown out background noises (e.g. Se7en)

[werkeeyo]

Hey can someone teach me how to install apps and game? honestly i dont have any knowledge related to this i just got my zune (im a noob lol), please any info would be helpful =(
