‘CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE

The metronome produces two types of click, with the louder click heard on every fourth beat - this is a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.

The metronome is capable of providing a down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure.

It is possible to select a different signature where appropriate. There are seven different times signatures available on the CN piano: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8 and 6/8.
