I wish I could II

When entering scores I often enter a tempo. Sometimes indicated in the score itself, but very often left for me to be interpreted by: "my feelings".
In addition: Many times there are in the scores several "ritardando's", (even "accel.") and "a tempo" changes.
If I then have started out "wrong", say with 80bpm as an "a tempo" indicator and change it to say 90bpm, I would like all the other remaining tempos to change accordingly: That is: all "a tempo", "Tempo I", "rit", etc. to change "in parallel". 80->90, and similar (in this case + 10) for all the other tempo changes.
My 2cent.

I like the idea, although to me it probably needs to wait until we have proper support for ritardando in the first place.

Meanwhile, though, I'll bet a plugin could do this already, if one could define exactly what the behavior should be. Eg, maybe you'd just enter the new start tempo and it would go through everything and scale it accordingly, basically the same as increasing the value of the "Tempo" slider in the play panel but doing it "for real". Bonus points if it updates the text too in the cases where the metronome marking appears and "follow text" is being used.
