Saving User Patterns

You can set up and save your own user pattern for the metronome click. This is useful if you want to use your click pattern in other projects as well.

Prerequisite

The time signature for which you want to set up a user pattern is selected in the Tempo & Time Signature section of the Transport Bar.

Procedure

  1. In the Transport Bar, click the points to the right of the Click & Count-in & Click Pattern section, and drag all the way to the right to show the click pattern section.
  2. Click the pattern field to open the Click Pattern Editor.
  3. Use the Clicks setting to define the number of clicks that you want to hear.
  4. Change the accent level for a beat by changing its vertical position in the event display.

    As soon as you make changes to the default pattern, the pattern name in the Pattern field changes to User Pattern.

  5. When you are done, click in the Pattern field, and select Store Pattern from the pop-up menu.

    The pattern name changes to Untitled, and a message informs you that a new pattern is created for the selected time signature.

Result

Your user pattern is saved.

After Completing This Task

Rename the untitled user pattern in the Metronome Setup dialog (Click Patterns tab).
