Editing tempo and signature
Tempo and signature display
544
The Tempo Track Editor has a toolbar, info line, and ruler just like other editors in
Cubase, plus an area for the display of time signature events and a tempo curve
display.
The toolbar
The toolbar contains various tools and settings:
1) Activate Tempo Track
2) Show Info
3) Tools
4) Auto-Scroll
5) Suspend Auto-Scroll when Editing
6) Snap on/off
7) Snap value
8) Curve type for new tempo events
9) The selected tempo
• The tools for Object Selection, Erase, Zoom and Draw are used in the same
way as in other editors. The Snap and Auto-Scroll functions also work exactly
like in the Project window.
Note that in the Tempo Track Editor, the Snap function affects tempo events
only. Time signature events always snap to the beginning of bars.
• The info line in the Tempo Track Editor allows you to change settings for
selected time signature events, and the type and tempo of selected tempo
curve points.
• The ruler in the Tempo Track Editor shows the timeline, and is similar to the
ruler in the Project window.
• The area below the ruler shows time signature events.
• The main display shows the tempo curve (or, if fixed tempo mode is selected,
the fixed tempo). To the left of the display you will find a tempo scale to help
you quickly locate the desired tempo.
Note that the vertical “grid lines” in the tempo curve display correspond to the
display format selected for the ruler.
