Make Quick Action Box persistent
#1
I propose an idea which would greatly improve a user experience for me. My band always plays live with a metronome. So when I load a setlist and go into Song Display mode, the first thing I do is tap the bottom-right corner to bring up the Quick Action Box and turn on the metronom. since I'm always a little nervous at the show, I sometimes miss the designated area and the Quick Action Box does not appear or worse, I accidently turn the page to another song. 

It would be great to automatically display the Quick Action box as soon as I enter the Song Display mode. Perhaps make the box translucent, but still present all the time. That would greatly reduce the chance of missing the metronome button. If this is unacceptable for some reason, then perhaps implement this in Performance mode.

If you don't use the quick action box for anything else, I might suggest going to Settings->Touch & Pedal Settings->Touch Actions, change the Quick Action Box dropdown to "Disabled" and assign the bottom right corner to "Start or stop metronome". Then you can trigger it instantly.

Or you could modify the Metronome Plaback Settings on a per song to automatically Auto-Start when the song is displayed (Metronome, gear icon).
This assumes you are not using a count-in and that the sound is off (using volume or using visual playback). I have Audio and Visual set and turn the volume down. 

If you use LED as the display mode, you can put it right at the top by using an offset of -35 (2nd icon from left when gear icon tapped)

If necessary, you can put all songs in a temporary setlist and open a song fromthe setlist; then, from the Metronome Playback Settings screen, "Apply to All Songs in Setlist"

Thanks, this seems like a decent workaround. I'm going to try it. The only other thing I use the Quick Action box is to get to the setlist mid-gig. Sometimes, we decide to switch the order of songs on the spot or repeat a specific song at the end of a gig, so the setlist button in the Quick Action box is a great way to get to it. With your suggested workaround I would lose this ability. So, it's a trade-off.

You could just press back on your tablet to return to the setlist

I designated the bottom-right corner tap to Start/Stop metronome and it works pretty well. I guess I'll stick with that. Overall, corner taps are a pretty cool feature. Thanks for the tip.

You can also keep the quick action box and use a different corner for the touch action to start/stop the metronome.
