GNU GTick - The Metronome

This software is part of the GNU Project.
Welcome to GTick, a metronome application written using the GTK+ widget set. This application was written because of a need for a Linux (or UN*X) based metronome program.
Having seen similar programs for Win95 (not really seen but at least noticed links to on various search engines), and not seen any for Linux/Un*x, Alex decided to go for it and wrote his own. Since then, many changes have been made to GTick, most importantly a more robust timing engine was added in 2003.
GTick has a BPM (Beats Per Minute) scale of 30bpm to 250bpm, catering for almost any need; and it is known to work on Linux (Kernel 2.2.x to 2.6.x) and FreeBSD. It was initially developed using GTK+ 1.1.14, but moved to GTK+ 2.x.
This is still in development, so there are likely to be bugs; So use it at your own risk, I can't be held responsible for anything bad happening to your computer or your life.
To use external ticking sounds you need libsndfile, at least version 1.
If you find a bug, have any comments or ideas, then email me, stigge@antcom.de or preferably the GTick development mailing list at gtick-devel@nongnu.org.
I "hijacked" this package because Alex doesn't respond to any mail and the package needed urgent work to be useable at all. Later, I got an email from him. He is fine and is still tracking GTick's progress.
Visit the GTick homepage at http://www.antcom.de/gtick/ for the latest release of GTick. And don't forget, the most important thing, HAVE FUN!!!
Thanks
