Proposed Solution
  • Visibility Controls
    : Introduce actions to:
- Show the metronome widget.
- Hide the metronome widget.
- Automatically hide the widget after the first loop is recorded.
  • Customization Options
    :
-
Resizing
: Allow users to adjust the size of the metronome widget to fit their workspace.
-
Color Adjustments

  • Integration with MIDI/OSC
    : Ensure the metronome widget's visibility and actions can be controlled via MIDI or OSC messages.

  • Seamless Integration
    : MIDI/OSC support facilitates integration into advanced setups, enabling synchronized control across devices and software.
  • Workflow Efficiency
