Metronome position
#2
I'll definitely look into some more display options for the metronome once time allows. Allowing the metronome to be positioned in a particular corner seems easy enough, but having it store that per song is more troublesome. Providing options to scale up or down the LEDs is another easy option if you just want the LEDs to be smaller. Providing settings for offsets or allowing the user to just drag and drop the metronome to their desired place would require far more work. The metronome is not like a standard Android component that supports touch interactions - I'm just rendering something on top of the screen. In order for the metronome to support drag & drop, I would probably need to implement some kind of placement grid where a box is shown representing each component. You would then drag those boxes to where you want the components to be, and I would then save the placements for each component. The problem is this would need to work on any device with any size screen/aspect ratio, in both landscape/portrait and correctly handle conflicts when components are overlapped by the user. There is also the issue of whether the components should move out of the way if the overlay is shown, which would add additional complexity to the layout processing. I'm sure there are lots of other things I haven't considered as well (such as the fact that the metronome LEDs don't have a fixed width - the number of LEDs and their size is determined by the number of beats per measure).  So I'm not sure exactly what I will support. I'd prefer an easier solution as there is a huge backlog of feature requests and I can't really afford to spend a significant amount of time on any change that isn't going to be very beneficial to most users.

Thanks,
Mike
