Hi Darcy,

Don't you need a pickup beat to show the new tempo? It's not clear to me how that will work. Something 's got to indicate the change of speed before it actually happens. I think I'd be considering putting the hold on the third beat and making the fourth beat be in the new tempo. Does that seem logical to you?

Actually it's always possible to make the cutoff also the upbeat, and it's trivial to indicate the new tempo and mood in the upbeat itself. It's what good conductors do!
