Thank you very much for this info. It sure did answer all of my
questions. I used to make my students practice based on 60, but after

Well, I think there is two reasons for this: Firstly, if you devided the
metronome all the way in two tick steps, this would make sense between
40 and 50, but the difference between 200 and 202 is so minute, it
wouldn't matter.

Hiro,
I think the common MM numbers were probably a result of how much room
there was for the numbers on a stand-up mechanical metronome. Also
must of the numbers are factorable, that is not prime numbers, which
makes it easier to divide them. With compute4rs, of course, any MM
numbers are poss

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.

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.
