Metronomes emit a higher-pitched click on the first beat of each measure, which is why it is important to set them to the time signature of the piece you’re practicing. How does the time signature relate to the metronome? If you see a big e in front of the music where the measure usually is, the measure is 4/4. You can think of the beat as one metronome click. If you were to see a 2 on the bottom, that indicates the half note gets the beat, an 8 indicates that the eighth note gets the beat, and a 16 indicates that the sixteenth note gets the beat. For example, in the time signature ¾, the top number 3 tells us there are 3 beats in the measure, and the bottom number 4 tells us the quarter note gets the beat. The top number indicates how many beats are in each measure and the bottom number indicates which note is equivalent to a beat. Time signatures are made up of two numbers. In order to effectively use the metronome for practice, you must first understand time signatures. Do you want eighth notes? Just double the BPM. With this you can practice transitions between normal notes and triplets back and forth.
