I'm looking for an "a tempo" marking

Is there an "a tempo" marking? I didn't find anything about it in the tutorial. Or do I just insert it as text? But that wouldn't have any effect on the performance after a rit would it?
Thank you
Ludwig

Hi Ludwig.
1. Insert a standard metronome marking in place for your "A Tempo" or whatever definition you want appear in your score (cmd + *-* on mac)
2. Write your plain text inside the edit box of the metronome mark BEFORE the note value (eg. *A Tempo*)
3. Wrap the note value and the original tempo value between square brackets. It will look like this: A Tempo [q=90]
4. Leave box edit. Only the plain text will appear in your score.
Hope it helps

Side effect: there's not an overall definition of *A Tempo* at a score level (as in F....e).
So if you change the overall tempo of your composition, you need to tweak each *A Tempo* instance by hand.
