Fermata weirdness
I am having a lot of problems with tempo in Nightly Build rev. 30fc3f2. The only way I've found to set the tempo in a way that gets saved when I save the file (or faithfully reproduced when I export it) is to add text with a tempo marking. This is in contrast with Musescore 1.3 where I can use the play panel to change the tempo, and this is remembered when I save and reload the file, or export it as a wav or midi. I can use the play panel to set a tempo do with the Nightly Build but the tempo is not remembered so this is less useful than the 1.3 behavior.
Although that is dissappointing one could live with it but the following seems to me to be a bug. If I set the tempo using a tempo marking, then come to a fermata, the tempo is inappropriately reset. I am attaching an example. There is a attribute at the beginning of the file. After a while there is a fermata articulation, and at this point, the tempo inappropriately changes to a faster one, at least with the revision I'm using. The music speeds up after the fermata.
In a message from two years ago (http://musescore.org/en/node/6521) werner stated that "The current trunk version of MuseScore plays fermatas. The extended duration of a fermata rest/chord can be configured." If this is in the Nightly Build I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.

Please discuss issues with nighly builds in the technology preview forum.
There is no tempo text anywhere in your sample score, just a couple fermatas
Oh, there is, but somehow invisible, white on white. There are easier and less confusing methots to hide an element ;-)
There was a bug with Tempo and fermatas, fixed since months, so please try a recent nighly build
You can change the time stretch of a fermata in the inspector (F8)
Attached with a strech of 1.5. Sounds just like I think it should, tempo is 72 beats throuout the piece with a delay at the fermatas.

Thank you, this is very helpful.

Tempo text is *always* the correct way to set the basic tempo for a song. The play panel is meant for temporary overrides to this basic tempo, such as to play back a passage slower for practice purposes.
