My Idea for Tempo Marking
Hi everybody! I have an idea from Finale software for a Tempo Marking.
If can be update this feature, MuseScore maybe work faster!
Say something for my idea? It very useful.

I see what you mean. You want to be able to set an initial tempo and optionally have a tempo text indicated and (again optionally) have a note=speed indicator. I like the idea but instead of a scroll box for the note I would have radio buttons.
I would have the default set as blank for the tempo text
I would have a radio button for crotchet ticked as default and = 120 as the speed with the user able to tick a different box and/or change the speed. I would have a check-box (default unchecked) to show or hide the note=speed marking.
I would have the actual BPM tempo as a calculated (display-only) field based on the above selection.
I'm not opposed to the idea, but I don't really see it being much of a time saver. By my count, it's at most two clicks less than simply editing the tempo text after your completely the wizard, and in many cases only one or even no clicks less.

The same could be said for setting the Time and Key Signatures.

Not really; changing those after score creation requires you to find the correct palette, open it, do a drag operation (or, a new option for 2.0.2, select a measure then double click). It's actually quite a big optimization to be able to select the key and time signature in the wizard. It is a somewhat smaller one to be able to select a tempo in the wizard, but I am not talking about the difference betwener having the selection versus not. I am talking about entering alternate non-default text by clicking in the wizard box and then typing the text versus double-clicking the text in the score and typing the text. It's literally the difference between a single click versus a double click in this case, and the moment you start adding additional options, that's just more things to click that could also be done just as easily after the score is created.
Unless I'm missing something, which is possible.

I think the big thing here would be being able to select what note duration the tempo uses. Changing that after the fact definitely takes more steps, assuming a person can even figure out how to do it at all.

AH, I was thinking this was about the text. Still. I'd rather the note duration just got smarter, taking the time signature into account automatically. And as someone mentioned elsewhere, this should really be on the time signature page, not the key signature page.

I think the original idea is generally good.
I think my idea can useful for MuseScore. But, MuseScore is the greate feature with a lot of config.
