Tempo change event
Tempo change event is used to change the tempo within the sequence.
The tempo change event is different from other events. It does not belong to a specific track.
By selecting TEMPO in the View field, you can display the tempo change event information separately,
regardless of the selected track. Even when you have selected ALL EVENTS in the View field, the tempo
change event will not be displayed in the event list.
% field
You can set the amount of the tempo change.
Initial tempo field, Current tempo field
The field on the left with a note symbol is the initial tempo field. The field on the right is the current tempo field.
The initial tempo field displays the original tempo set in the tempo field of the sequence, the Current tempo field
displays the new tempo changed by the setting in the % field.
