haha............yeah, but that's the only way you can break down the notes. Slowing the tempo down gives each note a longer duration, agreed? Apparently, slowing the tempo from 113 down to 70 has made the duration of each note so long that it doesn't sound right already.

Let's say, and I'm assuming the song is in 4/4 (4 beats per measure), that the first two measures of your melody is quarter note, quarter note, quarter note, quarter note for the first measure, and quarter note, quarter note, quarter note, quarter note for the second measure. The melody sounded right at 113, but now drags on at 70. What you need to do is combine two measures into one. But now in your first measure, you've got 8 quarter notes. To keep the song in 4/4, you need to change each quarter note into an eighth note. Now you have eight eighth notes in that first measure. You have half the measures, but the same melody. You can extrapolate from there.

OK, I'm tired of thinking already. Gonna go play my guitar.
