Adam,
Sorry to reawaken an old thread but there's still not much around about 
this.
>From looking at the code it seems like you're initialising the actorSystem 
lazily in a global object.
Following the other thread on the same subject (where to put the system, 
whether or not to use services) did you basically come to the conclusion 
that you can throw everything in a global and only worry about the app 
being stopped completely rather than worrying about activities being 
stopped?

So for your original question about where to put stuff including services 
are we kind of substituting Akka for services altogether?

My own application is intended to be long-running (it's a truck-drivers 
track and trace app - the sort of thing the delivery man has you sign) but 
linked into truck's engine and back office system and with fancy 
rescheduling. This means I've got to listen to various things - sensors, 
responses from the server (which may take a long time due to gprs signal 
outage), broadcasts from the satnav and some long-running calculations.
I'm having a debate with my colleague about structuring the app and your 
previous questions about services and patterns is very pertinent.

I'm wondering if you've had any further thoughts - after all the metronome 
is not mission critical and it's quite hard to start make your android do 
different and interesting things while practising to your metronome - but 
your original question hinted you were planning a much more involved app.

Thanks
Tim
