I have looked through the grub2 docs for a way to do this, but have
found nothing, simply nothing.

You can get grub2 to play a little tune when it comes up. So, from
there, you can count up/down arrows, but that's obviously not as good.

Perhaps we need to request a feature--a custom tune per kernel entry
would be my suggestion short of a speaking grub.

PS: The docs I looked at are at:

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/

PPS: The grub2 developers have a rather strange notion of metronome
settings, i.e., my entry says:

play 1920 440 12 330 4
