Forum folks,
Just purchased a Snark N-8 tuner and love the thing. Just one issue, I cant figure out how to use the tap metronome. There are two way to use the metronome according to instructions. Upon activating the metronome feature it auto set to 100 beats per minute ( a pulsing red heart icon appears on the display- no sound with the metronome just a blinking indicator). Upon activation option one is use the up or down buttons on the back to slow or speed the temp. No problem with that option. Option 2 however is the tap baton on the side of the tuner which after activating the metronome the user is suppose to tap the button and then tap again. Pausing between tap as the appropriate temp should set the metronome at the desired rate. My problem is that , after activating at 100, the first tap set at 40 beats a minute. After that the second tap give me a different tempo reading which never seem to correspond to the tempo I wasn’t.
I would appreciate any comments on how to set the tap setting.

Thanks in advance for any information offered.
