Hi Forum,

Especially for longer works, instead of searching the last tempo indication, is there a way to quickly find out at what tempo the current measure/section is set?

Thanks,
Best,

Adding a search field to find such markers as tempo alterations, chords, expressions, etc. would make Finale even better. If enough users requested such a feature, maybe MakeMusic would add it in a future version.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to find the current temp—though you could just playback another couple measures. It would be handy to just display the current tempo.

Also, because you're working with longer files, you might wish to try out the Bookmarks feature in Finale. View > Bookmarks.

Bookmarks don't directly solve what you're looking for, but it can make navigating from section to section easier.
