Adjust Tempo
Even in Play, the software oers some limited control over tempo in real-time. By pressing Up Arrow (for faster)
or Down Arrow (for slower), you can adjust the speed while the score plays. Each press can alter the tempo
by 4 or 5 beats-per-minute: so this method is not as precise as NTempo control when you perform.
