What is the Online Metronome & Tap Tempo?
A metronome gives musicians a steady beat to practise against. This online metronome schedules every click with the Web Audio clock instead of an ordinary JavaScript timer, so the tempo stays rock steady even when the tab is busy — the usual reason simple web metronomes drift or stutter.
Set any tempo from 20 to 300 beats per minute with the slider, number box or the ±1 and ±5 buttons, and see the traditional Italian tempo name (Andante, Allegro and so on). Choose 1 to 12 beats per bar with an accented first beat, add eighth notes, triplets or sixteenth notes, adjust the volume, or tap the Tap Tempo button along with a song to find its BPM.

Questions people ask
How accurate is this metronome?
Clicks are scheduled ahead on the audio clock, so timing does not drift the way timer-based metronomes do.
How does tap tempo work?
It averages the time between your last several taps and converts it to beats per minute.
What BPM should I practise at?
Start at a speed you can play perfectly, then raise it gradually.
What does Andante or Allegro mean?
They are traditional Italian tempo names: Andante is walking pace (76–108 BPM), Allegro is fast (120–156 BPM).
Can I change the time signature?
Yes — choose 1 to 12 beats per bar. The first beat is accented.
