Customizing metronome sound with NotePerformer

Dorico

What’s the right way to customize the metronome sound using NotePerformer?

In Play mode, I set the Time output to go to to one of the existing NotePerformer MIDI channels (those which are already used for the staves).
It works, but I don’t know how to either:

  1. Change the notes mapped to each beat - For me, in 4/4, the first beat plays a B and the second to fourth play a G; or,
  2. Map the meteronome sound to a separate MIDI channel, which I can configure with any sound I want. This could require a feature request from NotePerformer - unless there is a way to create a play track in Play Mode which isn’t associated with any of the staves in the sheet?

Thanks,
Dan

You can specify which midi notes (and their velocity) play the clicks in Play/Playback Options… I seem to recall some odd behaviour trying to get the Metr to work in NP… I’ll have another look later :slight_smile:

Playback options seem not to be present in Dorico Elements, unfortunately :frowning:
