Things like reason or even the old re-birth can be used to create grooves and rhythms

Any midi editor that lets you have the time signatures you want will do the trick.
If you are the type to want to print music then the score editors could be a better bet.

What time signature are you looking to.

These will still allow for midi file export and so can be imported to all the usual suspects ... including Alsihad. (ProTools)

Why is PT referred to as 'Alsihad'.

long story
mixerman ... fletcher , can't remember who first threw this stone but it did have a meaning.
Probably not so important now .. but it does show a healthy dis-respect to digi

Changing from 4/4 to 6/4 and 3/4 which isn't a big deal, but 15/8 to 4/4 and other wacky times can be, for a click track program. Sudden tempo changes, etc.

I don't really need to print it out, just see it on screen while I'm programing it.

The coral metronome at coralmusic.com might work. Or I'll suck it up and go to Guitar Sinnner.

Is this just for practice or do you want it to help while recording ?
