Editing tempo curve points
Curve points can be edited in the following ways:
• By clicking and dragging horizontally and/or vertically with the Object Selection
tool.
If several points are selected, all of them are moved. If Snap is activated on the
toolbar, this determines to which time positions you can move curve points, see
“The Snap function” on page 52.
• By adjusting the tempo value in the tempo display on the Tempo Track Editor
toolbar, in the Inspector, or on the info line.
Ö Selecting several points and changing the tempo value in the info line leads to a
relative adjustment of the tempo values.

following method:

Option Description
!
We recommend using the Bars+Beats display format when editing tempo curves.
Otherwise, you may get confusing results. This is because moving a point will change
the relationship between tempo and time. If you move a tempo point to the right and
drop it at a certain time position, the mapping between tempo and time will be
adjusted. Since you have changed the tempo curve, the moved point will appear at
another position.
