Description
I think the metronome is of low quality. Several has asked for ways to shut it of, all together.. (whitch easy btw) -to me that idicate an area where something new is needed.
At least a two-effect metronome (eg tttToc ttt Toc) with a clear difference on-beat, but perhaps more. Why not let the user set volume and perhaps a selection of sounds?
In the more exotic department (craaazy:P) I wonder if metronome could be a usefull tool
in live record -How about a time-delayed feature. -Eg a metronome that could be set to a precise off-value. this would let the user listen for the toc, and then have able time to do a note event. Depending of Q-setting and perhaps even HW reaction-delay, this could aid the use, in a creative fashion? -Also a 'beat-counting' feature could be implemented with a variable metronome. The user then turn the dial untill the ticks fits the played music - a display shows current BPM. -just some thoughts in respet to a somewhat disliked feature.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, entry points, or tests; start by locating LMMS's metronome implementation and reviewing the existing toggle work in #2278. The requested scope needs clarification before coding, with volume control listed as the only unchecked item and sound selection, accents, delayed timing, and BPM detection left as broader suggestions.
