Tempo panel

You can find all the different types of tempo marks organized into sections in the Tempo panel in Write mode.

Used in This Flow

Contains any tempo marks already used in the flow, including custom tempo marks added using the tempo popover.

Absolute Tempo Change

Contains a range of tempos, with both an Italian tempo indication and a metronome mark. You can later choose to show or hide the metronome mark for individual tempo marks.

You can narrow the range shown in the list by adjusting the sliding bar at the top.

Gradual Tempo Change

Contains tempo marks that indicate a change in tempo over a defined period of time, such as rallentando or accelerando.

You can add modifiers to gradual tempo changes. Available modifiers are shown at the top of the section in boxes.

Relative Tempo Change

Contains tempo marks that indicate a change in tempo that is relative to the previous tempo, such as mosso (movement, or with movement). They often include modifiers that qualify the change, such as poco meno mosso (a little less movement), and are not defined by a metronome mark.

You can add modifiers to relative tempo changes. Available modifiers are shown at the top of the section in boxes.

You can later set a relative metronome mark change as a percentage of the previous metronome mark for individual tempo marks.

Reset Tempo

Contains tempo marks that indicate a return to the previous tempo, such as A tempo, or a previously defined tempo, such as Tempo primo.
