Start
Tap the pad, or press Space. The 120 arrives as equal clicks, no beat raised above the rest; tap the pad again and they stop.
Change the tempo
Tap the number under the pad and type a whole tempo, or press minus and plus. The mark on the pad carries no range: the article gives this term one approximate figure.
Questions and answers
What is tempo di marcia in English?
March tempo, says Wikipedia's glossary of music terminology; the speed of a march, says its Tempo article. Tempo di borrows the pace of a kind of piece: the article has tempo di valse, for a waltz, and the glossary tempo di menuetto, for a minuet.
Is tempo di marcia always 120 BPM?
No. Wikipedia's Tempo article marks its figure as approximate, and its article on the march calls about 120 the modern march tempo before listing others: German marches at 114, Swedish at 110 to 112, circus marches at 140 to 200.
Which is faster, tempo di marcia or marcia moderato?
Tempo di marcia, by forty beats or more. Both stand in Wikipedia's Tempo article: its list of common markings gives Marcia moderato, moderately and in the manner of a march, 66 to 80, figures it calls very rough. Only the slower word has a range.
How do I set a metronome to march tempo?
This one opens there: 120 beats a minute, every click alike. Marches are most often written in 4/4, 2/2 or 6/8, says Wikipedia's article on the march, so the bar is left for you to count. For another march, type its tempo.
Why can't I hear the metronome?
A silent march is usually the phone's doing: the ring switch is set to silent, the volume is at the bottom, or Bluetooth headphones have the click. The beat is still on the pad, where two dots change places 120 times a minute.
