Hello Otokar,

Laurie is quite right, but maybe it is a help if some people simply tell
directly you what programms they are using. 

About the playing tempo, for a simple solution you maybe know anyway see
below.

For selecting a playback speed, you can and I think that is right for
all programs since it is format standard use a Q:field in the header,
the number entered in this field defines the playback speed.

standard 1.6:
"Q - tempo; can be used to specify the notes per minute, e.g.   if
the  default  note length is an eighth note then Q:120 or Q:C=120
is 120 eighth notes per minute. Similarly  Q:C3=40  would  be  40
dotted  quarter  notes per minute.  An absolute tempo may also be
set,  e.g.  Q:1/8=120  is  also  120  eighth  notes  per  minute,
irrespective of the default note length."

It is easy to have an alternative Q:field behind a "%" sign that is
activated just when the "%" is removed, like:
Q:90
%Q:120 %my prefered playback speed
