How to get there

Click the MIDI Tool $image\MIDI_Tool.gif$ . Select some measures. Specify the MIDI data type you want to edit by choosing Tempo from the MIDI Tool menu. If you’re in the MIDI Tool window, select the region you want to affect by dragging through the "graph" display area or by selecting the handles of individual notes whose MIDI data you want to edit. Choose Limit from the MIDI Tool menu.

What it does

This dialog box allows you to limit the number of beats per minute to within a specified range of values.

Minimum of ____ • Maximum of ____. In these text boxes, enter the minimum and maximum number of beats per minute within the selected region. Any existing data values below the minimum value you specify will be boosted to that minimum value; any existing values above the maximum value will be clipped down to that maximum value.
OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the MIDI data changes you’ve specified. You return to the MIDI Tool window (or the score).

Tip: Enter "0" to hear the notated values; enter positive or negative numbers to move the attack or release from the notated values.
