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.
Metronome marks
Tempo marks often include a metronome mark value. Metronome marks show the speed of the music, indicated in beats per minute, or bpm. For example, a bpm of 60 means one beat per second. The more beats per minute, the faster the music.
Changing the order of metronome marks
You can change the order of metronome marks relative to tempo text for individual tempo marks. For example, if you want to show metronome marks before tempo text in some tempo marks but after tempo text in others.
