Sudden Tempo Change During Playback

• Nov 22, 2013 - 02:22

I'm working on a song with a tempo of 160 BPM. When I listen to it, Playback will correctly play the music at 160 BPM for the first 12 measures. Starting at measure 13, the tempo drastically slows down to 120 BPM, yet the Playback Panel says, "160". I understand that the software focuses mostly on notation, yet I can be thrown off at the tempo change.

Presumably an invisible tempo marking there. I'm guessing this file was imported from MIDI and that this tempo change was there in the original. To remove the spurious tempo marking, you could trying adding one of your own, right clicking and click select all similiar, then delete. Then add back whatever tempo markings you do want.

Hey Marc,
I don't know if this problem was resolved, but where do we post the score? In this thread, or start a new thread with the problem. I'd willingly share my unfinished score here. But this constant random speed change is very off-putting especially when I've enabled the "show invisible" option.

Thanks in advance!

Since this thread is a dozen years old (!), it’s unlikely whatever problem you are seeing is at all related. Best to start a new thread and attach your score and say where exactly the problem occurs. I’m guessing it will turn out to a tempo marking that is disguised because it’s text has been changed.
