Maybe a future update will allow users to mute the metronome with automation.
I often have to press c at the last down beat while recording acoustic drums to avoid click bleed as the cymbals fade. With hot pickups in the control room I have to do the same mute for guitars or bass.
It would be convenient if the metronome could be automated to mute in these instances. If the metronome appeared as an audio track our routed through an audio track I guess that can also work.
Create a click track, could be a workaround, then automate volume on that…
From manual p232
