Tempo (for playback)

This entry includes information on setting actual tempos for playback. To create metronome marking tempo indications such as , see Tempo markings.

To set the initial playback tempo

The tempo you set with this procedure is the default starting tempo PrintMusic uses when it plays back your score by “reading” the notated, quantized music.

1. Choose Window > Playback Controls. The Playback Controls appear.
2. Enter the starting tempo in the Tempo text box. The number you type here is the standard metronome setting (beats per minute). Use the popup menu to set the note value—quarter note, for example.

To modify the playback tempo

At any point in the score, you can insert a functional tempo marking (such as Presto or Adagio) that will actually change the tempo during playback (see Tempo markings).
