Tempo marks
Tempo marks indicate how fast music is played, often with a combination of text instructions and metronome marks. They are also known as tempo changes, tempo indications, and tempo markings.
Gradual tempo changes
Gradual tempo changes indicate a change in tempo over a defined period of time, such as rallentando, which indicates slowing down, and accelerando, which indicates speeding up.
Changing the line thickness of gradual tempo changes
You can change the thickness of dashed and solid lines in gradual tempo changes individually, independently of your project-wide settings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Changing the line thickness of gradual tempo changes

You can change the thickness of dashed and solid lines in gradual tempo changes individually, independently of your project-wide settings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

In Engrave mode, select the gradual tempo changes whose thickness you want to change.
In the Properties panel, activate Line thickness in the Tempo group.
Change the value in the value field.

Result

Increasing the value makes dashed and solid lines thicker, decreasing the value makes dashed and solid lines thinner. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Tip

You can change the thickness of all dashed and solid gradual tempo change lines project-wide on the Tempo page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
