good

This is a nice app. A few suggestions:
I think the names of the two sounds should be shown as "drum"
and "click" rather than "default" and "sine,"
whose meanings aren't obvious. I'd also suggest making the click sound the
default, since that's what ordinary metronomes make, and it tends to work
nicely with any style of music. (It felt a little strange practicing
Vivaldi to a drum beat!)
Physically, the small size of the up and down buttons for the speed is a
little awkward. I'd rather not have to put down my instrument and sit in
the chair at my computer desk in order to increase the speed by one notch,
but it's difficult to click on the small buttons while using the mouse
standing up.

Actually, I recorded the default sound from a real mechanical metronome.
You just seem to be used to the modern way of practising (with a sine
shaped beep sound) which in turn would sound really strange to Vivaldi
himself. ;) Remember that a sine beep has a pitch which could irritate
musicians. Right?
Thanks for your GUI usability remarks. Maybe I will take this into account
on the next accessibility redesign of GTick...
