Changing the Tempo during the Song

change data into the tempo track. Following the location at which
you insert the tempo change, the song will play at that tempo.
However, if you want to create a gradual tempo change such as a
ritardando or accelerando, it's more convenient to use Tempo
Recording (p. 223).
