How to change tempo in bpm using playback control tools?
How do I edit the playback speed in bpm in the playback controls? (I am using the latest MS 4.5.2)
There only seems to be a percentage slider control available which I cannot change to bpm and is not granular enough - the slider increases in 5% intervals and changes my set 180bpm directly to 192bpm.
Yes, I know I can add a Tempo mark at the start of the score but it is rather a clunky way of actually changing the playback tempo.
Thanks.
ed. Forgot to add: MS 4 is amazing. Thanks for all your efforts in producing it.

What's clunky about that?
Set the default tempo from the palette, double click on the number and edit it.
Edit: And you can enter any value in the percentage field - you only have 5% increments with the arrows.
Using the tempo slider is the "clunky" way of changing playback tempo. It is only a temporary change. Use it to determine what tempo sounds right to you and then change it permanently with a tempo marking in the score (whether textual, like the Italian words, or a metronome setting).
