klick is an advanced JACK-based metronome, supporting tempo changes, meter changes, and more. klick is an advanced JACK-based metronome, supporting tempo changes, meter changes, and more. It allows you to define complex tempo maps for entire songs or performances.

Empty lines are ignored.label An optional name that may be used to refer to this line, and start playback at this position.? bars The number of bars for this tempo map entry.? meter The meter, written as beats/denominator. This is optional, the default is 4/4.? tempo The tempo in beats per minute, with a "beat" always referring to quarter notes, no matter what the meter actually is (this is different from Ardour/JACK, but similar to most other audio software).? tempo2 The tempo at the end of this entry, can be used for accelerando/ritardando.? pattern This may be used to alter the pattern of accented/normal beats. Use 'X' (upper case) for accented beats, 'x' (lower case) for normal beats, and '.' for silence. So for example, if you have a 6/8 measure, and you only want the 1st and 4th beat to be played, you could use the pattern 'X..x..'; the default would be 'Xxxxxx'.? volume Allows you to set a different volume for each part, default is 1.0.Example tempo map:part1: 8 120 # play 8 measures at 120 bpm, 4/4 is implied 8 4/4 160 X.x. # 8 measures at 160 bpm, playing only the 1st and 3rd beatpart2: 14 3/4 80 # 16 measures at 80 bpm, 3/4 beat... 2 3/4 80-40 # ...with a ritardando over the last 2 bars Requirements: · JACK Audio Connection Kit · Boost (headers only) · libsamplerate · libsndfile · SCons What's New in This Release: · This release fixes a segmentation fault that sometimes occurred when terminating the program.
