Common Time includes simple and compound meters, custom meters, and explicit groupings for irregular time signatures.
Choose a meter
Use a preset or create a valid custom meter with a numerator from 1 through 16 and a denominator of 2, 4, 8, or 16. Check the displayed pulse unit so the BPM has the musical meaning you expect.
Group an irregular bar
Groups must add up to the numerator. For example, 7/8 can be grouped as 2 + 2 + 3, 3 + 2 + 2, or 2 + 3 + 2. The written bar and click hierarchy keep those group starts clear.
Loop different meters
The free metronome supports a repeating phrase of up to four bars, with different meters and groupings in each bar. Use Pro practice plans for longer structured sessions with sections, bar counts, and tempo changes.
