changes are input at eighth note intervals, or at smaller intervals if the rhythmic grid resolution is

ner than eighth notes. If you used the Line tool, two tempo changes are input, one at each end

of the range. The range appears with a highlighted region in the Time track.

This affects the speed of playback, but the tempo changes are not shown in layouts. Instead,

they appear as signposts.

Tempo changes are included when exporting MIDI les.

Moving tempo changes in the Time track

You can move tempo changes to new rhythmic positions in the Time track. This affects their

rhythmic position in all applicable layouts.

PREREQUISITE

The Time track is shown and expanded.

PROCEDURE

1. Press S to select Object Selection.

2. In the Time track, select the tempo changes you want to move in one of the following ways:

● Click a single tempo change.

● Make a marquee selection around multiple absolute tempo changes.

NOTE

For gradual tempo changes, you can only move a single point at a time.

3. To move the selected tempo changes without changing their tempo, Ctrl/Cmd -click and

drag the selected tempo change, or one of the selected tempo changes, to the right/left.

NOTE

You cannot move tempo changes beyond other existing tempo changes during the same

move. Releasing the mouse causes the moved tempo change to replace the existing one.

You can then reselect it and move it further.

RESULT

The rhythmic positions of the selected tempo changes are changed. When you move multiple

selected absolute tempo changes, they maintain their positions relative to each other. This also

affects their rhythmic positions in any layouts in which they appear.

AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK

You can also move tempo changes vertically, which changes their tempo.
