We recommend using the Bars+Beats display format when editing tempo curves.
Otherwise, you may get confusing results. This is because moving a point will
change the relationship between tempo and time. If you move a tempo point to the
right and drop it at a certain time position, the mapping between tempo and time
will be adjusted. Since you have changed the tempo curve, the moved point will
appear at another position.

Adjusting the curve type
You can change the curve type of a tempo curve segment at any time, using the
following method:
PROCEDURE
1. With the Object Selection tool, select all curve points within the segment you
want to edit.
2. In the info line, click below the word “Type” to switch the curve type between
“Jump” and “Ramp”.
The curve sections between the selected points are adjusted.
Removing tempo curve points
To remove a curve point, either click on it with the Erase tool or select it and press
[Backspace]. The first tempo curve point cannot be removed.
Setting the fixed tempo
When the tempo track is deactivated, the tempo track curve is grayed out (but still
visible). Since the tempo is fixed throughout the whole project, there are no tempo
curve points. Instead, the fixed tempo is displayed as a horizontal black line in the
tempo curve display.
