Glossary

BPM (Beats Per Minute): A unit of musical tempo representing the number of beats in one minute. For example, 120 BPM means 120 beats per minute.
Tempo: The speed at which a piece of music is played. Sometimes expressed using Italian terminology like Largo (slow) to Presto (very fast).
Time Signature: A notation indicating the number of beats per measure and the note value that constitutes one beat. 4/4 is the most common time signature.
Accent: Playing a specific beat louder or stronger than others. This metronome naturally accents the first beat to help identify the start of a measure.
Web Audio API: A built-in browser API for processing audio. This tool uses it to generate and schedule click sounds with exact timing.
Scheduling Precision: The metronome's ability to play sounds exactly on time. By relying on the Web Audio API's hardware clock, it guarantees millisecond-level precision.
Tap Tempo: A feature that calculates the current BPM by tapping a button rhythmically. Very helpful for easily finding a song's tempo by ear.
