Well, I saw that this page also have a metronome, but I just got one, now the thing I need to know is how it works :P
I expected that I would get some instructions with it, but such things does not exist

You see it has all these sections that say allegro, largo, andante etc. with numbers from like 40 to 208, but how am I supposed to translate the C or 1/4 or 2/3 into a number between 40 and 208?

And on a sidenote, if any of you got some interesting musicnotes, ie. Bach or Vivaldi etc. I'd appreciate if you would share
I'm trying to not to forget the last 8 years of training.

Greetings Soren, Denmark.

Those numbers are the beats per minute. For example, if you put it on 40, you could hear 40 beats in one minute's time.

C is 4/4. So, adjust the number until it's one that you play the piece at. That will keep a steady beat for you. For other time signatures, it'll beat the big beat.

Reply if you have more questions.
