Hi Forum,

Couple of questions, one technical and the other songwriting specific but both related:

I've working on a song with a tempo change and I can't seem to nail it. For one thing, I don't understand what numbers to put in the boxes for tempo change criteria in bar settings. What's it based on? There's nothing specific in the manual. It just says, "put in the tempo change you want". Do they mean, for example, 97bpm? Or do they mean 10% slower...or faster?

Also, in terms of songwriting, I'm wondering how to make the transition itself. Is one bar of something...like a count in...enough or ? (in which case how would I do that?) I'm open to any and all advice or redirection to other resources...or if someone has done this successfully and can share a link to their music, that could be useful too.

Thanks!
