@Jordi, @Orologiaio - thank you for the appreciation.
I know about the volume problem, but it is a limitation of QtMultimedia on Sailfish OS, at least for now. Also, it does not redirect audio to Bluetooth headphones when they are paired. I will check if I can find workarounds for those problems.
The basic functions I wanted are al there, and I think it is useful as it is... but it is still a bit rough, and I am still unsure about the user interface.
Features I still plan to implement as I find the time (no pun intended...):
* Add current settings to the preset list
* Some kind of visual feedback
* An active cover to start-pause the metronome
* And now, the tap to set tempo
It would be cool to have a beat analyzer to find the tempo of a song playing either on the phone or nearby, and use that to set the tempo... but that requires some real C++ work, if I find an appropriate library, and may take a while to implement.
I second the volume request and the appreciation! ;)
There is a glitch in the about page, the gpl license text goes out of the screen border.
Also, a little feature request: could you add a "tap to set/measure tempo" function? I had it in a metronome app for Nokia N9 and it's really useful... when I know the speed I want to play at but I don't know to which number it corresponds for example, or to take the tempo of a song I'm listening to.
(Se non s'è capito cosa intendo te lo richiedo in italiano :P)

Nice job!
And quite complete for an "Early stage of development"!
Cannot change the volume, though.
