Description

Your idea

I had this bright idea of adding a new feature where we could change the notes on the Metronome Playback like for example instead of having E5 for the Emphasis Beat & F5 for the Click Beat, we could do A#1 for the Emphasis Beat & A1 for the Click Beat (like on the Midi Drum Map)

Problem to be solved

Having the Metronome Playback match the Midi Drum Map

Research direction

Start by locating the Metronome Playback implementation and the MIDI Drum Map handling in the MuseScore codebase, then trace how the emphasis and click notes are selected. Confirm how note changes should be exposed and persisted, and verify that playback uses the selected notes while matching the MIDI Drum Map behavior.
