Project-wide engraving options for tempo marks

You can find options for the project-wide appearance of tempo marks on the Tempo page in Engraving Options.

The options on the Tempo page allow you to change the appearance of tempo marks, and their position relative to the staff, time signature changes, and other items. You can also change the appearance, thickness, and position of continuation lines relative to barlines for gradual tempo changes.

There are musical examples for many options to demonstrate how they affect the appearance of your music.

You can open Engraving Options in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E in any mode.

  • Choose Engrave > Engraving Options in Engrave mode.

You can then click Tempo in the page list on the left of the dialog.
