Summary	0010132: Clock - Bars-Beats - Possible label updates
Description	(Buttons are probably fine the way they are but maybe something mentioned here could be helpful?) It has been mentioned the desire of simplifying things such as the `Applications Toolbar`. I know this was more about removing items, but was thinking about some label updates. Not sure if would be a good idea but was thinking how developers/users would feel about updating the 'Bars:Beats' Clock button labels and maybe hover tag labels. BUTTONS LABELS -These two buttons are already in a Bars:Beats / MIDI based section so maybe do not need as much text. -The suggestions mentioned below would also allow for the font size to be increased so it would be easier for the user to see the value shown. [Tempo Button] The music note icon and the "=" were probably used to save button width space, but to me are not really needed/informative to the user. Maybe would consider removing them and just showing the tempo number only. Not as important but also, does the tempo really need to show 3 decimal places all the time? Maybe could just show whole number value only without decimals places if they are not being used. Meaning if tempo = `120.000` then just show `120` [Time Signature Button] Same with this button, the "T/S:" text to me is not really informative, maybe would remove it. Then could just show `4/4` as it is, or with added spaces if it looks better '4 / 4' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOUSE HOVER TAG LABELS -Might not be important but maybe would also update the mouse hover tag labels for these buttons to just show `Tempo` and `Time Signature` so they are instantly seen what they are. If this is not agreed with then maybe just `Change Tempo` and `Change Time Signature` Hope some of this is helpful Can close if not interested Thank you to anyone who reads this
