Export to Audio File Changes the tempo(?)

[ernesto1956]

I wrote a piece for saxophones, violin, guitar, and bass. The .mus file plays fine, the way I want it to. However, when I export the audio file to an mp3 (or even an aif) the tempo changes to a much, much slower speed. Why would that possibly happen?

The files can be downloaded here: http://www.erniecentofanti.com/Zydeco.zip I have included the .mus file which sounds correct, and also the .mp3 file which plays too slowly. I want the tempo to be at quarter note = 190. It's as if the mp3 is defaulting to the tempo it would use if no tempo were assigned (like maybe quarter note = 100?).

Sorry, the zip file was too big to attach to this post.

I have never had this "tempo alteration" problem before. The only other item worth mentioning is that I created this music by taking one of my earlier pieces (which had essentially the same notes in it) and changing the instrumentation using copy and paste, and then re-assigning channels appropriately.

I don't know what might cause the tempo change, but if the playback tempo is correct, when you play the .mus document in PrintMusic, then you could use Audacity to record PrintMusic's playback to an audio file.

I didn't know Audacity could do that. Thanks, I'll give it a try.
