You can move tempo changes to new rhythmic positions in the Tempo editor. This affects their rhythmic position in all applicable layouts.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Key Editor is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Select is selected in the Key Editor panel toolbar.

  • You have added the Tempo editor to the Key Editor.

Procedure

  1. In the Tempo editor, select the tempo changes you want to move.
  2. To move the selected tempo changes without changing their metronome mark value, hold Shift while dragging them to the right/left.
    Note

    You cannot drag tempo regions and single tempo changes input in Write mode beyond other existing tempo changes during the same move. Releasing the mouse causes the moved tempo change to change the value of the existing tempo change.

Result

The selected tempo changes are moved rhythmically. When you move multiple selected absolute tempo changes, they maintain their positions relative to each other. This also affects their rhythmic positions in any layouts in which they appear.

After Completing This Task

You can also move tempo changes vertically, which changes their metronome mark value.
