Just another quick point:
Looking at Maelzel's metronome scale,
38 of 40 are divisible by 2 (20 expected)
30 of 40 are divisible by 4 (10 expected)
19 of 40 are divisible by 8 (5 expected)
In view of this, the fact that about 50% are divisible by 6 doesn't seem
obviously special.

Aside from disagreeing with the reasoning behind Hans' assertion that all
good composers should avoid using the 'in-between metronomes', it strikes
me that the question of whether or not they do is something that can be
tested pretty readily. I picked 3 Eulenberg scores off my bookshelf and
copied

Uh, yes, you quoted all the numbers I have on all my metronomes -
what's that got to do with multiples of 6?
I make it a point to give a list of all the traditional metronome
markings, the very ones you've listed, to aid in their practice - no
need to increase by 1 beat per minute, I agree.

In this age of digital metronomes, many people don't remember the
"traditional" graduations on the metronome. These graduations were set
up so that each "click" of the metronome represented about a 4-5%
