Adjusting Current Playback Tempo You can try playing your Section at different tempos by temporarily adjusting the tempo during playback using Metro’s Tempo setting. Metro sets the initial tempo of each Section to 120 BPM. The Tempo display is in the lower left corner of the Transport window. To adjust tempo during playback, do one of the following: In the Transport window (Command-B), click the Tempo setting’s left or right arrows to decrease or increase the tempo by 1/10th of a beat per minute, or hold the mouse button down for larger changes. Also in the Transport window, drag the slider below the Tempo setting either left or right. In addition to adjusting the current playback tempo, you can set a Section to always play a particular tempo by placing a Tempo event in the Section. Metro automatically places a Tempo event at a default tempo of 120 at the beginning of each new Section. This tempo is displayed in the Transport in the Tempo setting (Tempo = 120). To change initial default tempo of the current Section and any new Sections you create: Click the door on the Tempo setting to open the Tempo dialog box. Within the Tempo dialog box, enter a new initial tempo display and click OK. The default initial tempo setting affects the current Section and any new Sections you subsequently create. You can easily view all Tempo, Time Signature, and Key Signature events within a Section in the Section Event Editor window (Windows menu). See Entering Tempo Events in the Tempo Dialog Box for more details on entering Tempo events.
