Hi, I have a song that has a single bar for which I need to specify a slower tempo. I know I can do this in the bar settings either using a % value or a hard value. In the next bar I want to set the tempo back to the original song tempo. Although I can do this explicitly in the bar settings, the problem is that I have now hardcoded the song tempo (potentially all over the place) in the bar settings and the global song tempo becomes irrelevant. Is there any way to specify in the bar settings to just set the tempo back to the song setting? That way if I ever change the song tempo everything still works.
If you mix in a DAW you could readily arrange that. FWIW.

Q: "Is there any way to specify in the bar settings to just set the tempo back to the song setting? That way if I ever change the song tempo everything still works."
A1: As far as I'm aware, there is no setting for "Set this bar to original tempo". This would make a really good item in the "Wishlist Forum".
A2" "If you mix in a DAW you could readily arrange that. FWIW."
FWIW2: Everything you've asked and each answer is true. This likely can't be done in the song. However, it can be done by BIAB - easily, non-destructive, savable/repeatable and changing the tempo is only a single event of multiple ways this feature can modify and enhance a song project. Use the Medley Maker Tool...
Tools|Song Form|Medley Maker
I created a test 'Medley' for demonstration.
As you can see from the screen shot, I only had to insert/append my song project, and with the second appendage, change the tempo to what I wanted, then append the song a third time to return to the original tempo. For the Medley to play properly for only the tempo to change but the song to play normally, be sure to leave the Transition Box at Zero.
When you generate the Medley, BIAB creates a non-destructive SGU song file with all of the Medley parameters you made applied.
