BPM (Beats Per Minute) measures music tempo. 60 BPM means 1 beat per second, 120 BPM means 2 beats per second. Common tempos: Largo 60-80 BPM, Moderato 80-120 BPM, Allegro 120-160 BPM.
Common time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8. Different time signatures determine beats per measure and accent placement. 4/4 is most common, 3/4 for waltzes, 6/8 for compound meter.
This metronome uses Web Audio API's precise scheduling, achieving millisecond-level accuracy, far superior to setInterval-based implementations. Suitable for professional music practice.
Metronomes are essential for music practice: 1) Maintain steady rhythm; 2) Gradually increase BPM to build speed; 3) Practice complex rhythms; 4) Unify tempo in band rehearsals; 5) Develop beat sense for dance.
