You might consider not using it. I'm not sure it takes all that
much longer to make a tempo change now. You double-click to add an
expression, click on the Tempo Marks set, select one of the given
expressions, click on "duplicate," then "edit." Then you can
change the numbers and text. If you need to change the value
(quarter, eighth, etc.), you need to know the EngraverTextT
equivalents (q is quarter, e is eighth, x is sixteenth, h is half,
w is whole, dot adds a dot, ). If you care about playback, click
on the playback tab and change the tempo there also.
Making a tempo expression is now much easier than that:
- With the "Tempo Marks" category selected in the expression
designer, click on "create tempo mark...".
- Choose the note value from the new "Insert Note" popup menu.
- Go on typing the equal sign and the number: you'll find they are
automatically set to the correct font.
- If you click on the Playback tab, you'll see that playback has
already been automatically defined.
Note that it is now very easy to do such things as add parentheses
around the definition of the metronome marking, or create expressions
like "quarter note = circa 100". All that wasn't possible directly
with the plug-in: you'd have to first create the expression with the
plug-in, then go to the expression tool and edit the expresion there.
