End Time (Advanced Option) Displays the abso-
lute time for the selection end. When the Main
Time Scale is set to Bars|Beats, the end time is
displayed in the Sub Time Scale. When the Main
Time Scale is set to any absolute timebase, the
end time is calculated and displayed in
Bars|Beats. Changing the end time value causes
the tempo to change.
Tempo Start and End Displays the tempo, in
beats per minute (BPM), for the start and end
points of the selected range. Changing the
tempo causes the end time value to change.
Resolution (Advanced Option) Lets you select the
BPM note value for your tempo setting.
Selecting "Follow Metronome Click" will set
the tempo BPM note value to mirror the
click value set in the meter markers.
Density (Advanced Option) Lets you specify the
density of the tempo change events written to
the Tempo ruler.
Preserve Tempo after Selection If selected, the
previous tempo setting that was in effect at the
selection end point is preserved after the selec-
tion. If unselected, the last tempo event created
by the tempo operation continues to the end of
the session, or until the next tempo event be-
yond the selected range.
