Thank you David, and all who answered to my question.
I didn't get to explain myself correctly. Her's how it stands:
I've got, lets say, a 16 bars melody in 3/8 and a metronome value as:
sixteenth = 120. 
I want to display the metronome's pulse over each of the 16 bars, like a
series of beats overlaying the melody, shifted above the staff; I would have
to display, in this case, six metronome symbols per each measure. The symbol
of the M.M.'s beat has not to be related to the sixteenth value.
I personally selected a cross symbol like the percussion map ride cymbal,
but was asking myself if there where a sort of conventional symbol/s for
displaying M.M.'s beats

Thanks again
Giovanni
