Tempo marks not being followed

[bj nick]

So....haven't done anything jazzy in a long time, now writing some horn parts. I only mention this because I haven't had any problem with the chamber music I've been doing....tempos are no issue. With this, I put in a tempo mark, either an existing one (medium, fast, etc.) or a quarter note = 180, etc, and the tempo does not change. Same tempo every time.....I put in "slow," "fast," no difference. What am I missing?

No way to know without seeing your file.

Okey-dokey.......thanks. Here it is.

You need to click on the Playback tab of your tempo expression and set it as shown below.

Apparently Finale's sample tempo marks that have metronome markings don't make use of this feature, for some idiotic reason.

Well that was a weird one, but it worked.So thank you very much for that, I appreciate it. Very strange that has to be done though, never has before. Weird.

The same idiotic reasoning that applies swing tempo to only the top staff, unless you edit the staff list.

Well, I've played in some groups where only one person is swinging.....
