Inputting tempo changes in the Time track

You can input tempo changes, including gradual tempo changes, in the Time track in Play mode.

Tempo changes input in the

Time track do not appear in layouts, but instead are shown as

signposts.

PREREQUISITE

The Time track is shown and expanded.

PROCEDURE

Select one of the following tools, depending on the type of tempo change you want to input:

● To input single absolute tempo changes, or multiple absolute tempo changes at regular

intervals, select

Draw by pressing D or clicking Draw in the Play toolbox.

● To input gradual tempo changes, select Line by pressing L or clicking Line in the Play

toolbox.

Input tempo changes in one of the following ways:

● To input single absolute tempo changes, click in the Time track at each position where

you want a tempo change.

● To input multiple absolute tempo changes at regular intervals, click and drag in the

Time track.

● To input gradual tempo changes, click and drag in the Time track from where you want

the gradual tempo change to start to where you want it to end.

TIP

The metronome value corresponding to the current vertical position of the mouse pointer is

displayed in the

Time track header.

RESULT

Tempo changes are input. If you used the Draw tool, separate tempo changes are input at each

position you clicked. If you clicked and dragged in a single motion using the

Draw tool, tempo

changes are input at eighth note intervals, or at smaller intervals if the rhythmic grid resolution is

ner than eighth notes. If you used the Line tool, two tempo changes are input, one at each end

of the range. The range appears with a highlighted region in the Time track.

This affects the speed of playback, but the tempo changes are not shown in layouts. Instead,

they appear as signposts.

Tempo changes are included when exporting MIDI les.
