With the new design in MU4, the tempo is displayed at the top of the screen in the menu bar.
To change the tempo, my first intention was just to click on it and change the value.
Unfortunately, that does not work. I believe it would be great benefit to allow changing the tempo like this and is very intuitive to do so.

The question would be, what exactly should this do? Add a new tempo text at the current cursor position? Hunt backwards to find the previous tempo text and alter its properties? The playback properties only, or also the text itself?
On the other hand, as a way to access a slider for a tempo scaling override like the old play panel, that would make sense.

Good questions.....so currently it displays the "active" tempo at the measure where the cursor is located.
So guess it would update that tempo marking responsible for setting that tempo. And if none exists, it would just set the overall tempo.

Better #331538: Play Panel features missing in MuseScore 4.0 (tempo override control missing)
So from my point of view, adding a percentage value to allow the "override functionality" to be added, should not rule out having the ability to directly change the tempo using this setting.
So far Musescore 4 sucks... Why change something that works and remove features that makes previous versions much better. Can't find the tempo override neither the Play count-in at the playback start.
Count in is not yet implemented

Thank you! Going back to 3.6
Tempo override is on the playback toolbar once you undock it. Count-in is indeed temporarily no implemented but will no doubt return if enough people say they miss it.
As for why a small handful of lesser-used features might be temporarily missing while the enormous improvements were being designed and implemented, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qct6LKbneKQ.
