conveniently compare these numbers with the total
possible number of hits (Max Hits) displayed just
above this column. If you click the heading of the
Hits/Near/Miss column to sort the tempo results
list, it orders the results first by number of hits, and
secondly by number of near misses.
AUDITIONING A SPECIFIC TEMPO
If Audible Mode is on and a tempo in the list is
selected, the metronome will click at that tempo.
You can turn Audible Mode on or off with the
speaker button in the Control Panel.
VIEWING THE RESULTS OF A SPECIFIC
TEMPO
To get a closer look at the results for a certain
tempo, click the tempo in the list to highlight it.
When you do, the list in the lower portion of the
window shows details about every marker for that
tempo, including the number of frames off it falls
from a beat and the total amount of error for that
marker. In addition, the closeness of the hit is
indicated by color in the Hit column as a general
reference. Green means a direct hit; yellow means it
is close, and red means there was no direct hit.
The following sections provide a brief explanation
of each column in the Find window marker list.
Once again, you can sort the list by the values
displayed in each column by clicking the column
title.

APPLYING THE TEMPO TO YOUR SEQUENCE
The Apply button writes the currently selected
tempo to the sequence specified at the top of the
Find Tempo window, starting at the Start Search
location (Figure 65-1 on page 757).
COPY AND MOVE LOCKED MARKERS
The Copy and move locked markers option helps
you if you are finding a tempo after you have
written music. It creates an unlocked copy of each
locked marker so that when you apply your tempo,
the unlocked markers shift with the music,
allowing you to see where your music data has
moved after applying the tempo.
LOCKING TRACKS BEFORE APPLYING A
NEW TEMPO
If you have data that you don’t want to move when
applying a tempo to a sequence, then lock that
track before applying the tempo.
