2. In the Properties panel, change the value for Final tempo % in the Tempo group.
3. Press Return .
RESULT
The nal tempo at the end of the selected gradual tempo changes is changed.
For example, if you change the value to 20 on a gradual tempo change that started at 100 bpm,
the nal tempo is 20% of 100 bpm, which is 20 bpm. If you change the value to 120 on a gradual
tempo change that started at 100 bpm, the nal tempo is 120% of 100 bpm, which is 120 bpm.
Gradual tempo changes
Gradual tempo changes indicate a change in tempo over a dened period of time, such as
rallentando, which indicates slowing down, and accelerando, which indicates speeding up.
Rallentando with dashed line
Gradual tempo changes are considered a type of tempo mark in Dorico Elements, meaning you
can input them in the same ways as for tempo marks.
Because gradual tempo changes have a different metronome mark value at the start/end, you
can change the
nal tempo at the end of individual gradual tempo changes.
In Dorico Elements, you can show gradual tempo changes with different styles, such as with a
continuation line or with syllables spread across their duration. You can also show gradual tempo
changes with different line styles, such as dotted or dashed.

Lengthening/Shortening gradual tempo changes
You can lengthen/shorten gradual tempo changes rhythmically after they have been input.
PROCEDURE
1.
In Write mode, select the gradual tempo changes you want to lengthen/shorten.
NOTE
When using the mouse, you can only lengthen/shorten one gradual tempo change at a time.
2.
Lengthen/Shorten the gradual tempo changes in any of the following ways:
● To lengthen them by the current rhythmic grid resolution, press Shift-Alt/Opt-
Right Arrow .
● To shorten them by the current rhythmic grid resolution, press Shift-Alt/Opt-
Left Arrow .
