I often use light tempo changes inside a song in order to add some 'life' to the song; so, that avoids to sound too mechanical.
In order to get full control on this feature, We need to get a way to see the tempo variations in the Piano roll screen : for ex. It could be possible to display the tempo at each bar each time a new value is entered.

I think a great idea. But think it should be possible to make real "ritenutos" and "a tempo" also. And also a ritenuto as a ending.

>>>John-Luke has a good idea here. These ideas might also help too?

I used to play in a motown/beatles/santana type rock band, and recently i created a custom tempo track in cubase with some of the old songs. I noticed that generally speaking, the tempo in our songs didnt change much between sections, only by about 0.5 to 2 bpm difference. (and our songs were powerfully strong in emotion buildups breaks feel etc)The slow sections obviously were slower in tempo perhaps 5bpm difference.(?)


>>>>>>
Anyway,Perhaps PG could include a pulldown box with 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 bpm differences which could be selected on any bars; this would work over a fixed tempo, (eg.120bpm), and would raise / decrease the tempo by these small bpm amounts.....maybe its a good/ stupid idea?



Its slightly off topic, but is about tempo changes too..but with audio chord wizard. There seems to be an error with using it in 2/4: Ive only tried 2/4 and 4/4 ....4/4 works fine, but 2/4 is buggy i think;I send it back to biab from Audio Chord Wizard and when i push play the tempo literally doubles every few bars!!!!!!! What a headache_maybe someone should look into this.

This is a good idea John-Luke. I would like to see the tempo display roll by at each bar change . . . particularly where you use an ACW audio file and a midi tempo map. If the ACW file has uneven audio tempo, as in the case of a live performance, then each tempo change should be visible.

Powertracks has this feature. I have BIAB 2008.5 and I just noticed yesterday that BIAB didn't - surprised when I couldn't find it.

It shouldn't be too hard to do as John-Luke describes. The info is already on screen (in the window info at the top of the screen) so it just needs to be coded to display it somewhere else.
