This is especially true if you're practicing slower than your desired performance tempo -- or faster. Sometimes you'll set it for a smaller subdivision; sometimes you'll set it for just one beat per bar.
Sep 1 at 8:42 comment added Tim There's no actual 'we would set the metronome thus'. It can be, and often is, set in many different ways. True, for a complete beginner, it probably would be set for individual beats, appropriate for the piece, but metronomes can be, and are, set in many different ways. I might set mine so that it clicks on 2 and 4 in 4/4, or just 3 in 4/4. They're far more versatile than most of us seem to find use for.
