There's a word for tempos of 200bpm and more: Prestissimo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo#Basic_tempo_markings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo#Basic_tempo_markings Obviously physical metronomes have to have a limited scale. If you wanted to just get into that territory, 208 lets you get there but not give up too much of your dial. I assume if you want to go faster you just set it to 104+ and beat double. Edit: I guess this is an example of a faster tempo. "Quarter note equals 215" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDAsABdkWSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDAsABdkWSc
