gtklick is a simple metronome with an easy-to-use GTK+ interface, supporting the JACK sound server.

It features different sounds to choose from, arbitrary meters and beat patterns, a speed trainer, and the ability to save and restore profiles. gtklick is implemented as a frontend to klick and uses OSC messages to communicate with the backend.

Using klick directly on the command line offers additional features like tempo maps and synchronization with JACK transport.

klick is an advanced command-line based metronome using the JACK sound server. It allows you to define complex tempo maps for entire songs or performances.

A single meter and tempo can be specified on the command line, while more complex tempo maps can be read from plain text files. Alternatively, it's also possible to run klick in interactive mode, where the tempo can be changed at runtime using the keyboard, or to follow tempo information read from JACK transport.

GNU Solfege is an ear training program for X Window written in Python, using the GTK+ 2.0 libraries. You can practice harmonic and melodic intervals, chords, scales and rhythms, and you can add new exercises using a simple plain text file format.

Ear training is a big subject with many connections to music theory and performance of music, so I won't even try to make "a complete computer-based ear training course". But I hope someone find this software useful.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: mma

FMIT is a graphical utility for tuning your musical instruments, with error and volume history and advanced features like microtonal tuning, statistics, and various views like waveform shape, harmonics ratios and real-time Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). All views and advanced features are optional so that the interface can also be very simple.
