Add tempo words like Allegro or Andante to your tempo marks, and playback follows them

The tempo mark popover open in the editor, listing tempo words from Grave (quarter note = 35) to Moderato (quarter note = 114), next to the new Tempo section of the Notation sidebar

Tempo marks can now carry a tempo word: Grave, Largo, Lento, Adagio, Andante, Moderato, Allegretto, Allegro, Vivace, Presto or Prestissimo.

  • Pick a word, get its tempo. Choosing a word sets the measure to a matching speed, and you can still adjust the ♩ = value under it.
  • Drawn the way scores print it. The word appears in bold above the staff, with the metronome mark below it.
  • A new Tempo section. Tempo marks, accel., rit., a tempo and swing now sit together in their own section of the Notation sidebar.
  • Kept in MusicXML. Tempo words export as bold text with their tempo, and files from other notation apps bring their tempo words in.
