You can type the desired bpm value into this field. Note: If you hold Control-Option-Command while clicking in the Tempo track, a text field opens. Watch the help tag and don’t release the mouse button until the intended tempo and position are indicated exactly. Tempo events are inserted by a double-click (with the Pointer) or by using the Pencil tool. Note: If there is enough space in the Tempo track, the tempo will be indicated numerically (in bpm) alongside each node. By default, these dots are followed by horizontal lines that (at the bar position of the next tempo change) form right angles with vertical lines, connected to the node of the ensuing tempo change. The Tempo track displays tempo changes as nodes: dots connected by lines.

The tempo track also determines the relationship between incoming time code and the current song position. The Tempo track applies to the whole song. This track can be displayed by choosing View > Global Track Components > Tempo. Tempo changes are controlled by tempo events, which are stored in a special Tempo track. The lock symbol allows certain parameters to be fixed, preventing them from being changed. The different functions in the Operation menu provide several interesting options for tempo change edits, and changes to the sync reference. The Tempo Operations window can be opened from the Arrange window via Options > Tempo > Tempo Operations, the Transport window Sync button pull-down menu, or by means of the Open Tempo Operations key command. Watch the help tag while holding down the mouse button: It displays the exact position and value (if applicable) of the event to be inserted, until the mouse button is released. (If you haven’t changed the default tool assignments, this is done by clicking while holding the Command key).

To create a global event (a tempo change, for example), use the Pencil tool and click at the desired position in the track. Global tracks are displayed or hidden by use of the View > Global Tracks menu option.

Global tracks can be displayed in the Arrange window, just below the Bar Ruler.

There are several types of Global tracks, & one of them is the Tempo track, which contains all tempo changes of a song. Global Tracks provide a perfect way to view and edit global events, such as Tempo, which affect all tracks in the arrangement. Above the Arrange area is the Bar Ruler, which displays position information. In the Arrange Window (Windows > Arrange), the Arrange area is where all MIDI and audio information is recorded, on horizontal tracks. Of course, if you're already doing all this, & it still isn't working, please get back in touch again… Hopefully that's all you need, but JIC the rest of the info follows ignore it if you're sorted! (It sounds like you may have been trying to input tempo changes on Audio or MIDI tracks that's not the right place. It may be that at the moment you don't see a Tempo Track, so in order to display it you need to choose View > Global Tracks. You can insert tempo changes on the Tempo Track, just underneath the Bar Ruler. (And the stuff in my previous post also applies.) Oh, I forgot you can't say s-u-c-k-s I mean, if it's not terribly good.
