EDIT TEMPO
Use this dialog to automatically calculate the musical tempo (Beats per minute)
from the current selection.
To use Edit Tempo, first highlight a selection in the waveform display. The
selection made should be equal in size (or an integer multiple) to the length
of a beat or measure. The easiest way to tune a selection to be exactly one
measure long is to play the selection looped and change the selection points
until a constant downbeat is heard.
Sound Forge XP uses the current tempo to display measures in the Time Ruler.
TYPE (BEAT/MEASURE)
Choose whether the current selection in the waveform display is one beat or
one measure long.
