Tempos
How do you add a tempo to the page? I have tried clicking and dragging but it doesn't translate onto the page.
How do you change the tempo? Everything is set to 80 and I can't figure out how to change it.
Do you still have an unanswered question? Please log in first to post your question.

120 is the default tempo if you do not change it. Probably the PDF conversion does not recognize the tempo marking so you need to set it by yourself.

I will say it is a bit finicky... you have to drag it carefully onto the note, as you drag it you will see a red circle with a line through it, aim to get the top left of where the line meets the circle to the note and you will see it then change to an arrow and the note will be highlighted. That should then let you drop it and it will effect your piece from that point on.

Easy method...
Click on the note (to select it).
Then, in the palette, click on the tempo.

I do it like Jm6stringer, but you can also zoom in your score, than you maybe don't have to be so carefully onto the note.
Yes, by dragging from the palette to the score, the default value is 80. No problem: double click the tempo marking and edit the numeric value.
