Impove metronome count-in

• Mar 19, 2022 - 18:26

Hello Musescore
Metronome count-in is a very useful playback option.
So I can play any instrument live - accompanied with musescore playback.
Even starting playback at any time within the piece or measure - Count-in is always correct.

Suggestions to improve:
1
If the piece starts with an offbeat --> Count-in is not correct.
The count-in clicks with a regular measure - instead of respecting the offbeat.
Best solution is to count 1 whole measure before - followed by missing beat(s) to round up the offbeat.

2
Missing metronome count-in --> after section breaks.
Count-in clicks after restart of playback at section start --> but not while running through the sections.

Temporarily I can use a separate drumline part - but I am sure, musescore can fix it better.
Greetings - Rudi

Depending on how you have introduced your anacrouse measure MuseScore may think that the notes are the first ones of a shorten measure (and countin is incorrect) or the last ones of a shorten measure (and countin is then correct).
You seem to be in the incorrect case, then you need to reintroduce your anacrouse at the end of a full measure, delete (ctrl-del) the beginning of that full measure and the countin will be correct.
