Understand Tempo
Hi,
There is different when the tempo is entering as "ca. 64" and "64".
"ca. 64" is lot faster than 64. Why is this?
Thanks.

I'm going to make some assumptions here.
You used the Tempo text to enter the tempo and you type (note symbol) = 64 and (note symbol) =ca 64. if you select each of the tempos with the inspector window open (F8 opens and closes it) you will see the tempo for x = 64 is 64 and x = ca 64 is 120 which is the default if MS doesn't know what else to use. uncheck the follow text check box and the tempo will change to a number that can be modified. You can then change this to any number you like including decimals such as 64.5 if you like.
If you did anything else please explain.

It also works if you add the "ca." later, once MuseScore did parse the string and extracted the correct tempo.
The parser is just not clever enough to ignore that "ca." or a "~", not to figure what "quarter-note= 80-90" means (probably should play at 85, but MuseScore detects it to be 80)

I switch between non-ca. and "ca.". The tempo now is the same. Is this right?

That's what you want, right? MuseScore can't possible interprete "ca. 60", it needs to see this as "60" exactly, we're not doing fuzzy logic here.

If I untick the "Follow text", does it mean the tempo follow the one in the inspector not the one on the top of the score.

If you untic "Follow text" you can set the tempo you want, overriding whatever MuseScore might have interpreted the text as. You basically disconect the tempo text from the actual speed, disconnect display from data

Yes. It's actually made so you can replace the 1/4 note = 64 with Largo and set the tempo to 64. It will always follow what you put into the inspector when that box is unchecked.

I get it now. Thanks both. :)
