Adding tempo to an empty bar (measure) doesn't work when score is played
I have a piece of music for tenor saxophone in 6|8 time (for my 10yo son) which has 6 empty bars towards the end with a ritardando two measure before, and an 'a tempo' for the empty bars (see attached image). I've created the ritardando by using decreasing tempo markings (100 > 90 > 80), which work well, but when I set the tempo back to 100 at the empty bar, playing it back still has it at tempo = 80 (using the metronome). Can someone suggest a way around this so that the tempo picks up for the empty bars?
Kind Regards
Charles Farrugia

You may need to (temporarily) disable multimeasure rests to change that tempo marking. And also maybe change, save, close, reopen the score
Your tempo markings don't seem include the information on what note value is involved - there should be a quarter note or whatever. Not clear why those aren't present, but that's probably also getting in the way.
In order to assist further, we'd need you to attach the actual score, not just a picture. Then we can see better what is going on.

Hi Marc...
Score attached. Any help would be welcomed!

Watch what happens when you disable multimeasure rests: the 2 tempo texts become visible all of a sudden. If you now alter them (to the same tempo, just douple-click, Esc), make invisible and enable multimeasure rests again, they work (and it is only those 2 that didn't work before).
Looks like a bug to me, and the latest 2.2 development build shows the same problem

Thnx Jojo-Schmitz... That worked fine. When I inserted the tempo change I had multimeasure rests enabled. When I disabled them as you suggested and inserted the tempo to the first empty bar (quaver = 100) and then enabled multimeasure rests again all worked okay! Much Thnx! I've attached the 'fixed up' version. Cheers, Charles.

Sorry Mark... The note value attached to the tempo mark is a quaver i.e., quaver = 90.
This shows okay on my laptop, but my work desktop won't show the note. The issue with timing occurs on my laptop where the quaver note = 90 | 80 etc. can be seen. When I get home tonight, I'll upload the .mscz file from there.
Cheers
