Tempo mark components

You can change which components are shown in different types of tempo marks project-wide, and you can change which components are shown in individual tempo marks.

You can activate properties that correspond to the different components in the Tempo group of the Properties panel. You can activate one or more of the following tempo mark properties in any combination for individual absolute tempo changes:
