See attached. I duplicated the canned tempo expression Quarter = 120 to make it Q=88, but kept it disabled (Match playback to metronome marking text), so that the tempo would be changeable by the Playback control. But the tempo stays (about?) 120, no matter what Playback says. I tried all the experiments I can think of, including deleting midi data, enabling the expression at various tempi, then disabling it, and messing with HP.
For a while it was even goofier -- the 2-measure countoff stayed at 120, then the piece took off at Playback tempo. I can't recreate that now.
Help, please.
Disabled Tempo expression isn't disabled

The piece plays at 88. By matching playback to the text, which has 88, the playback is at 88. That's what I get. This will over-ride anything you have in the slot for playback, which is set to 44. I don't get 120. In which bar does it play at 120?

My oops, thanks -- I had a fundamental misunderstanding, cleared up now, that "metronome marking text" referred to the Playback controller's number, not to the text in Main. So now, the only way to keep the expression as a suggestion, rather than a command is to switch "Tempo" to "None" in the Playback tab. All good, but I'm sure or imagining that for a couple of times, the 2 measures of countoff played at ~120 and the piece responded to the expression tempo at m1. Maybe that was a mirage. It's impossible, yes?
