/bin/sh will replace ``$i'' with it's own value (an empty string), you
have to quote (prefix with ``\'') all ``$'' characters when using
the ``<<'' shell construct

the ``import'' command creates a new project so it resets all saved
settings, including the metronome state. Moving ``m off'' after the
``import'' statement should disable it.
