Editing tempo and signature
Process Tempo (Cubase only)
Exporting and importing tempo tracks (Cubase only)
You can export the current tempo track for use in other projects by selecting “Tempo
Track” from the “Export” submenu of the File menu. This allows you to save the tempo
track information (including time signature events) as a special XML file (file extension
“.smt”).
To import a tempo track, select “Tempo Track” from the Import submenu of the File
menu. Note that this replaces all tempo track data in the current project (although the
operation can be undone if needed).
Process Tempo (Cubase only)
Process Tempo allows you to define a specific length or end time for a set range, and
the tempo track will automatically set a tempo that will fit the range in the specified
time.
Proceed as follows:
1. Specify a region or range that you wish to process by setting the left and right
locators, either in the Tempo Track Editor or in the Project window.
2. Click on the Process Tempo button (either in the Tempo Track Editor or on the
tempo track).
The Process Tempo dialog opens.
3. In the Process Range fields, the specified range is shown, in Bars and Beats
(PPQ) and in a time format, which can be selected from the Time Display Format
pop-up menu.
The range defined in step 1 will already be set, but you can edit the range by
adjusting the values in the Process Range fields if you wish.
Now you can either specify a new range length or a new range end time. What to
choose depends on whether the range should have a specific length or whether it
should end at a specific time position.
4. Enter the desired End or Length in the corresponding fields of the New Range
section.
You can select a time format for the new range in the Time Display Format pop-up
menu.
5. Click Process.
Now the tempo track is automatically adjusted, and the range will have the
specified duration.
