Our technical support staff receives questions about creating tempo changes that playback accurately fairly often, so we thought we’d take a second to show how quick and easy it is! Create Tempo Change When you use one of these predefined tempo markings they will automatically impact playback, so what you see is what you hear. But what if you decide to add a tempo marking long after you’ve finished the Setup Wizard? What if you want to add tempo changes mid-piece? To simplify this process we expanded the available tempo markings available in Finale v26. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, your tempo settings and return to the score.Finale’s Setup Wizard makes it easy to add an initial tempo marking to any new score. The change you specified will be repeated in each measure of the range. Using these controls, specify what range of measures you want to affect with this tempo change. For standard triplet-feel, eighth-note swing, just click OK. Click this button to display the Set Swing dialog box, where you can specify a degree of swing for the measures. While this kind of tempo change is slightly less precise than the Set To kind, it lets you change the starting tempo (with an expression, for example), while still preserving the relative tempo changes over the course of the piece. In other words, Finale might think to itself: "60 beats per minute… 8% faster than that… 10% faster than that." Enter the amount of tempo change into the text box. Use this option if you want Finale to establish a new tempo as a percentage of the tempo that preceded it. Enter the metronomic tempo marking in the text box (120, for example, for 120 beats per minute).
In other words, Finale might think to itself, over the course of a single measure: "60 beats per minute… 65… 70." This is the most precise method of tempo programming. Click this option if you want Finale to store each tiny tempo change as an absolute tempo change. For example, in a 4/4 measure (even an empty one), you can specify a tempo change on the third beat by setting these controls to say Beat 3. value, even one that corresponds to a point in the measure where no note is being struck. You can enter any beat or EDU EDUs, or ENIGMA Duration Units, are Finale's high-resolution measurement for the duration of notes and rests, defined as 1024 EDUs per quarter note. This drop-down menu and text box allow you to specify the precise moment in the measure where you want the tempo to change. Scroll among the Units you’ve created by clicking the small up and DOWN ARROW buttons. Each tempo change is called a Unit this indicator specifies the Unit whose data is displayed in the dialog box. You can change the tempo as many times as you want within a single measure. In this dialog box, however, you can directly edit the Tempo data for the measure you clicked. Tempo data was captured in earlier versions of Finale via the Transcription Mode from your real-time performance (by clicking Save Tempo) so that Finale can recreate your tempo changes when it plays back the transcription.
Most tempo adjustments, except for "swing", should be placed only at the beginning of the area they are supposed to affect. The measure range defaults to this measure only (instead of through the end of the piece). In the Tempo Adjustment dialog box, "beats" refers to the beat in the current time signature, rather than assuming a quarter note is the beat. You can use it, for example, to create a swing effect, although the Playback Controls provide a much more efficient and effective method of creating swing. You’ll rarely need to know about the fairly technical concept of the Tempo tool nonetheless, you can use it to create certain unique temporal effects. The Tempo tool lets you edit tiny, moment-by-moment tempo fluctuations within the playback of a piece. Noteman says: In order to hear effects applied with the Tempo tool during playback, you must set Human Playback to None in the Playback Controls. Choose the Tempo tool and click a measure. Choose Window > Advanced Tools Palette.
