Expression/Metronome marking

• Aug 22, 2024 - 21:32

Can I use a tempo marking such as Allegro and also put a specific BPM on my score? I need to do this because Allegro was slower in the 19th century than it is now.

Yes, you can!

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/tempo-markings

You can either

a) add a tempo marking from the palette and edit it to include both a tempo "equation" and a tempo description e.g. Allegro and select "Follow written tempo" in its properties

or

b) add just a tempo description and specify BPM in the "Override written tempo" field in properties with "Follow written tempo" deselected.
