The horizontal line indicates the intended tempo as marked in the score . The round ball indicates a percentage
faster (above the line) or slower (below the line) your tempo was in relation to the intended tempo . Of course, a ball
right on the horizontal line shows you played right at the intended tempo .
Hear the Performance

to these captured tempos . To hear your NTempo performance, you use NTempo’s Auto-Cruise feature:

» Notion plays the score with your customized tempos .
In NTempo Mode:

read the metronome marks written in the score .
Edit Performance
After you create ball-and-line marks above the NTempo staff, you can tweak these settings as much as you want on an
individual basis .
1 . Find in the score a location where you want to tweak a tempo .
2 . Aim your Pointer at the ball for that beat . Click but do not release .
» You view a percentage from the currently notated tempo .
3 . With your mouse still clicked, drag the ball upward for faster and downward for slower . The further you drag, the
more exaggerated the change . The supported percentage range is very wide: from 33% to 300% of the current
tempo in the score .
