Tempo change in the middle of a long measure

[arsaral]

I need to make tempo changes at a meter 11/8 and very slow tempo. But finale (or maybe me) puts the new tempo mark automatically to the beggining of the bar. Could you please help me? I need to add 2 or more tempo marks into the same bar.

Use the MIDI tool

On the Positioning tab of your new tempo mark, uncheck Use Tempo Marks Category Positioning and set Horizontal Alignment Point to something else. Then you can attach it to the middle of the bar.

For tempo marks you want to set to specific notes, go first to the tempo mark > Edit > Expression Designer > Positioning > Horizontal Alignment Point > Center of all Noteheads. You can then attach that Tempo to begin playing at any selected note.
(looks like motet posted this already while I was typing ...)

Expressions of the category Tempo Alterations can produce their effect at their position, which can be anywhere in a measure.
