When should I tap?

Do not react after hearing the note. Count along during the example, then anticipate each target beat in the silent bar. Bluetooth audio and some touchscreens introduce delay. Leave adjustment at 0 ms unless you consistently measure a device offset. Adjustments are manual, not automatic calibration.
