Create tempo curves in the Tempo track

You can create a continuous transition, or tempo curve, between two tempi using a tempo curve.

Create a tempo curve between two tempi

  1. Select the two tempo points.

  2. Click-hold and drag the tip of the right angle line (the corner) above or below the second tempo point.

    A curve or diagonal line results (a Move Curve Node help tag is shown), which can be dragged—horizontally or vertically—to alter the curve shape. The process is similar to drawing track automation curves with the pointer.

Change the snap value of a tempo curve

When set to 1/16, there are four tempo changes per quarter note; 1/1 only generates one tempo change per bar, which resultsu in a more abrupt transition. A different snap value can be defined for each tempo curve.
