Changing Tempos

Your project can incorporate all kinds of tempo changes, including step
changes from one tempo to another, gradual increases (accelerandos) or
decreases (ritardandos), and almost any other type of change you can
imagine. The tempo changes you add to your song become part of the
project and are saved with the project Þle.
You can add tempo changes to your project in four ways:
¥ Using the Tempo toolbar
¥ Using the Insert-Tempo Change and Insert-Series of Tempos
commands
¥ By drawing tempo changes graphically in the Tempo view
¥ Inserting tempo changes in the Tempo viewÕs Tempo List pane
