Metronome in the PDF viewer
Built-in metronome right in the sheet music PDF: 40 to 180 BPM, adjustable in steps of 1 and 5, with a pulsing beat indicator — no separate app needed.

What is this?
The metronome in the PDF viewer beats the tempo right in the sheet music view. You do not need to open a separate metronome app — keeping tempo and reading sheet music happens in one window.
Use
- Open a piece in the Sheet Music area.
- Tap "More" in the dock at the bottom and then "Metronome" (on the iPad directly in the dock).
- Set the tempo with −5, −1, +1 and +5.
- Tap "Start" — the circle with the BPM number pulses in time, and you hear the click.
- Tap "Stop" when you are done.
Features
- Tempo from 40 to 180 BPM
- Beat indicator — the circle pulses with every beat, useful when the sound is quiet
- Keeps running when you close the window
- Change tempo during playback — without restarting and without skipping a beat
When is it useful?
- In a rehearsal room without a metronome
- Practicing at home — no switching between apps
- Checking tempo — if the piece says "♩ = 120", you set it quickly
- Practicing difficult passages slowly and gradually increasing the tempo
Tips
- Use the beat indicator in quiet rehearsal rooms.
- Headphones — the click in your ear, the choir singing around you.
