In choral rehearsal it is often helpful to playback a section at a slower speed. For example, a fast, melismatic section of 16ths & 8ths, it would be nice to slow it down to 75% or even 50% and record that as a practise MP3. Is there a simple way of doing this?

Change the tempo in the playback controls.

If you only want to slow down certain sections insert tempo expressions. You can hide them from printing. It's in the manual: https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fin ... expression
