Procedure
Result
During step input, tempo marks are input at the caret position. Gradual tempo changes, such as rallentando, are also input at the caret position but do not extend as you input notes, and are input with a default duration of a quarter note.
When adding tempo marks to existing music, they are added at the rhythmic position of the selected barline, notehead, or rest. Gradual tempo changes span the duration of the selected items.
After Completing This Task
You can lengthen/shorten gradual tempo changes.
