Inserting Tempo Events
To insert a tempo event:
1 Click in the Tempo ruler where you want to
insert the tempo event.
2 Click the Add Tempo Change button at the
left of the Tempo ruler.
3 In the Tempo Change window, enter the Lo-
cation and BPM value for the tempo change.
Select the Snap To Bar option to place the in-
serted tempo event cleanly on the first beat of
the nearest measure.
4 To base the BPM value on something other
than the default quarter note, select a different
note value.
5 Click Ok. The new tempo event is inserted
and appears in the Tempo ruler.
Each tempo event has a small green triangle
next to it that indicates its location. These trian-
gles can be dragged to move the tempo event,
and they can be double-clicked to edit the
tempo event.
Editing and Moving Tempo Events
Existing tempo events can be moved, edited, de-
leted, and copied and pasted.
To move a tempo event by dragging:
■ In the Tempo ruler, drag the triangle for the
tempo event left or right.
If the Edit mode is set to Grid, the dragged event
snaps to the current Grid value.
To edit a tempo event:
1 In the Tempo ruler, double-click the tempo
event.
2 In the Tempo Change window, enter a new
Location or BPM value for the tempo event.
3 Click OK.
To delete a tempo event:
■ While pressing Alt (Windows) or Option
(Mac), move the cursor over the tempo event
(where the cursor changes to a Grabber with a
“–”) and click to remove it.
