Hi Tim, i think if we tell the user "just don't touch the tempomap", it doesn't matter which tempo MusE silenty uses, whether it uses 120bpm, 60bpm or a constantly degressing tempo. As long this setting never changes.
Because all GUI controls can easily (and must!) convert these XTicks into a frame- or second-number anyway, and never show the user the underlying XTicks value. So i'd just leave it to whatever it was set before. greetings flo Am 03.02.2013 10:05, schrieb Tim E.
