Do metronomes come in metric?

"metr"  is the clue.

Dang, must be something wrong with my browser -
 
I came here thinking this thread was a discussion about upcoming membership features for Sonar...

 
How could you possibly think any thread is still on topic after the second page?

No. Because then they'd be metricgnomes.

No. Because then they'd be metricgnomes.

And they all come from Zurich

It's stuck in the Myanmar Ages.

I am not sure that Britain should be entirely green in that picture.
 
All the road signs are still in miles.  Food etc., seems to be available in both - e.g. four pints of milk or two litres. 
 
We seem to use both all the time.
 
Hospitals may weigh us in kilos, but have a conversion chart to tell us in stone.  If you ask anyone their height, they will answer in feet, not cm.
 
Perhaps we should be a pale shade of green in that chart, or a grey/green..

Personally I think we should all go back to Hectares, Cubits, Shekels, and Furlongs!

Well, we're all musicians (a slight exaggeration of my own abilities there ...), and nobody uses 10 beats to the bar, its usually 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 of quarter or eight notes. Irish slip-jigs go to 9/8 time, but that's just a jig in waltz time, sort of. Maybe Dave Brubeck and Roger Waters can stretch music maths to 5 or 7; but that's the exception.
 
An old mate of mine once compared metric and imperial units: "A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter .. there - it even rhymes"

(still using pounds, shillings and pence, which you can divide by just about any number you want)
 

The February update to SONAR will include a procedure to accurately measure snow fall in meters with a slick conversion algorithm to convert to centimeters....
