Thanks for the reply,I had found the control bar earlier and it does not show the metronome icon. It's happened before and the only way I could find it was to reset the date on my computer to an earlier date which then would open on an earlier date and at the top it would show all the icons.I would like to take a picture of the window I am getting to show you but I haven't a clue on how to do this. When I do what you say and press C the control bar shows but does definitely not show the metronome icon. This is so frustrating.
