Somebody posted a fascinating link on this subject a year or so ago –
who was it? It explained the whole reasoning behind the marking
divisions on modern metronomes.

Little OT.
This is my long time question that I was too embarrassed to ask, while
this list seems to have the best resources. Please forgive me if this
is
too dumb.
I was always wondering how metronome value are divided, meaning,
I am used to increment by two from 40 up to 60, but I have never seen
62.
It's 60, 63, 66, 69, 72. But next is not 75. It's 76, is it not? I
always _felt_ this is something to do with how human naturally relates
to
pulse, but it could had only been my imagination.
Is there any rule to this? Or is this even a common practice? Any
help
once for all would be appreciated.
