Changing tempos
The Control Bar contains several tools you can use to add or modify tempo changes:
If you make a mistake using any of these tools, you can use Edit > Undo to correct the error. When
you use the Freehand tool, the speed with which you drag the mouse determines the density of
tempo events. To insert a larger number of relatively small tempo changes, move the mouse slowly.
To insert a smaller number of relatively large tempo changes, drag the mouse quickly.
