I would like to set a Tempo Change in Beats Per Minute in the Score by seeing something written above the highest staff to set the beats per minute. Can this be done?

Thank you for your help.

Add a tempo mark in the tempo marks category as shown below (use "Insert note"). On the Playback tab, set it to match the expression.

Motet,

I don’t know how to get to the expression designer. I can find tools > expression and the click the arrow on the top of the top staff and then select tempo marks from the menu. It doesn’t do number of beats.

I just do’t know how to get the screen you printed.

After you click with the Expression tool, go to the Tempo Marks category and create a new expression.
