Modifying tempo properties in the Tempo Inspector

To change the tempo position, double-click the M:B:T / H:M:S:F column and enter a new position.

To change the tempo, double-click the BPM column and enter a new tempo in beats per minute.

To change the envelope shape type, click the rightmost column and select one of the following shapes:

Jump. This choice causes the envelope to make a ninety degree jump where the envelope reaches the second node. Sonar displays jumps with a dotted line, meaning that there is automation data at the nodes where the dotted line begins and ends, but not where the line itself is.

Linear. This choice draws a straight line between the two nodes.

Fast. This choice draws a curve between the two nodes that changes value rapidly at first, but more slowly toward the end of the curve.

Slow. This choice draws a curve between the two nodes that changes value slowly at first, but more rapidly toward the end of the curve.

 

Note: By default, the time column in the Tempo Inspector shows M:B:T time, but shows H:M:S:F time if the Display All Times as SMPTE display option is enabled in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display.

Deleting tempo changes in the Tempo Inspector

To delete a tempo change, select the tempo change event(s) you want to delete, then do one of the following:

Right-click the tempo change and select Delete

Press the DELETE key

Select Edit > Delete

Sonar deletes the selected tempo change. You cannot delete the first tempo in the list.

 

Tip: You can select multiple tempo changes, then delete them simultaneously. To select discontiguous tempo changes, hold down the CTRL key and click the tempo changes you want to select/deselect. To select a range of adjacent tempo changes, click the first tempo change you want to select, then hold down the SHIFT key and click the last tempo change you want to select.
