Metronome question
Greetings,
My configuration is:
OS: macOS 13.1, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.1-230121751
My question is:
I have a score with the 4/4 time signature.
When I turn on the metronome it provides 4 clicks per a measure.
I would like the metronome to provide 8 clicks per a measure keeping the time signature is 4/4.
Does MuseScore have this feature?
Thank you
Victor

Probably not. (I don't use MS4, so I'm not sure if everything is so possible there).
But you can, for example, add a wood block system, add one or more measures at the beginning and write the metronome replacement there.
(In 3.6.2 you can hide this staff and still hear it.)

It works.
The wood block staff can be hidden and 8/8 metronome still can be heard.
Now the time signature is 8/8 instead of 4/4. But for practicing it is ok.
Thank you very much.

Not sure I understand : adding the wood block staff is precisely to avoid to change the signature to 8/8
You are supposed to enter metronome sound on the wood block staff using whatever rhythm you want, keeping 4/4
If you decide to change to 8/8 anyway, then you don't need a wood block staff the "natural" metrnome sound will do the job

You can keep the 4/4 time signature but set eighth notes in the wood block staff.

Yes, I can do it.
But in MuseScore 4, when I hide the wood block instrument, the staff disappears and the sound of wood block disappears.
If I hide wood block measures one by one, the sound of wood block remains, but the wood block instrument remains in score.

That's because of the new V4 behavior, hiding instrument mutes it.
Do not hide the instrument, hide his stave only and you will be good

It seems that there is another potential improvement factor in MS4 ... :-)
I think it will be back in one of the following versions.
Edit: OK, it's there, as 'frfancha' wrote.
