Mac, I think this may be true but I had to half the
chord durations for a tempo near 96 BPM to sound right.






Then I would jus consider both the dotted quarter and the BPM figure there to be a typo.

In these days of computer-generated charts, it is easy to surmise what could cause something like this to happen, maybe that given figure was "leftover" from the previous song and went unnoticed, or maybe someone really just made a blunder with it.

No matter, viewing the few bars you posted it looks to me like you could just enter as written into BB, pick a style that works for you and set the BB Tempo BPM block by ear to suit.
