Cloud Sharing - missing Metronome feature

I'm using the Cloud Sharing Feature to provide practice files to my choir on our web page. Even though it's online only since yesterday, they are all really excited about this. But there is one -hopefully small- feature missing, or maybe I'm just overseeing it?

As a user I would really like to hear the metronome "click" while listening to practise my part.

Short answer - add an extra track and put a click in it.

If you 'unmute' the click in the mixer and adjust the volume, does that give you what you need?

The click is muted by default in the mixer (far right channel)

If your piece has lots of tempo changes/ralls/fermatas etc you may get some strange/unhelpful results so, the extra staff as described above is more flexible.

I don't believe the click track makes it to the cloud share.

The downloadable plugin "Add Simple Click Track" can be used to add a click track, which can be hidden.

*******
Adds a wood block instrument to the bottom of the score, and adds notes appropriate for a simple click track.

Normally you can use the built-in click track from the mixer, but for Cloud Sharing and some other situations, a separate click track can be useful.

If you need a more sophisticated click track, consider purchasing Roman Molino Dunn's Click Track plugin at www.themusictranscriber.com.

If the time signature is n/d, the plugin will write n notes of duration d into the bar. For a 6/8 bar it will write 6 eighth notes, and the first note in the bar will be a different pitch than the other notes. It will adapt to changing time signatures and handles an initial pickup bar.

In Sibelius 7 and later, the added staff can be hidden.

Apologies, the email notifications didn't work!

Yes, the "built-in" click track doesn't make it to the cloud share.
But the plugin sounds like a great idea - thanks a lot, I'll try it!
