If a score has, for example, a time signature of 4/2 and the play panel speed is set to 64, instead of giving each half note one beat, the system gives each half note two beats, so the score runs at half speed.

Bpm or beat per minute actually means quarters per minute. MIDI defines it that was. So this is by design.
Maybe we can improve the tooltip to mention this, by changing it from `Actual tempo` to `Actual tempo in quarter notes per minute`
