Meter and metronome discrepancy
Hi everyone,
I'm running into a problem trying to write in 5/8, where the metronome is at 77 to the whole note. When I put the meter in 4/4 the click correctly beats 77 to the whole, but as soon as I adjust the meter the click no longer beats correctly. I'm extremely confused, because the click shouldn't vary at all when beating whole notes regardless of meter change, no? What am I doing wrong here? |

There is no "whole note" in 5/8. There are ties though. Further explanation to make this clear: a whole note (no matter what meter) is 8 eighth notes. A 5/8 bar is composed of 5 eighth notes. To have a "whole note" click starting from bar 1, beat 1, the click would go bar 1 beat 1 bar 2 beat 4 bar 4 beat 2 bar 5 beat 5 bar 7 beat 3 bar 9 beat 1 (at which point this pattern would repeat) Which is why this isn't a thing with odd meters.

I've rectified the issue by setting a new tempo at whole note=(77 x 0.625), so should be good to go! Much appreciated! |
