Tempo doubling on playback

[Sherry C]

Hi Barrie (and Tim),

Thanks for the additional insight here! That points the way to a workaround that hopefully will work for a rehearsal file, if not for the "pretty print" version.

Tim, I just tested this and it works. Hopefully it will be a workaround that you can use for practices anyway, although it does lose your Rehearsal marks (ouch - sorry). Open your file and use File/Export as MIDI, and be sure to check the "Write out repeats" option, then you'll get a full-length rehearsal file that will play the proper tempos (yeah, it should be "tempi", but that sounds funny ) at the proper places, even if you stop and restart playback midway through the file.

Thanks for the added insight Barrie - I'm adding this to the "fix it" notes.

ttfn,
Sherry

Synchronised solutions! I had just carried out the same test by doing a MIDI export. This does give me an adequate workaround provided I remember to use the MIDI file rather than the Notation file in the white heat of our rehearsals. I will have to make a note of which of my current pieces have repeat marks and tempo changes - or perhaps best to set up a "rehearsals folder" with all MIDI versions. And hopefully this gives a clue for an eventual fix.
I am sorry to read the news about Mark Walsen: clearly a guy with a love of performing music.
Best wishes
Tim
