Kevin,

I, too, like to practice in Quiet mode and find it somewhat cumbersome to turn the metronome on & off, and adjust the tempo on the PRC. But how could u solve this issue with DKVBrowser?

You don't happen to have a computer connected to your Mark IV via MIDI cables, do you?

The reason I ask is that I have noticed the same annoying problem, and fixed it by having the middle pedal (which I never use) toggle the metronome on and off.  This requires a computer connected via MIDI, and running DKVBrowser. (although, it's my own custom version since no one ever seemed interested in the ability to control certain piano features via MIDI, I'd happily work on that feature some more if anyone cared...)

I regularly use the so-called "Quiet" mode for piano practice. It makes the Mark IV a great tool for the student (and for neighbors).
 
 However, one major pain. There is a metronome function, but in order to turn it on and off, you must open the little plastic cover on the PDA. There is no way to use the scrolling mechanism on the bottom of the PDA (which is usually used to navigate around the interface) to turn metronome on and off. It seems like a simple software change. Make it possible to turn Metronome on or off with the rocker switch at the bottom of the PDA, without having to open up the plastic cover and use the stylus (or your finger).
 
 If you are playing, the present software, which should be easy to fix, is really, I say again, really, annoying.
