Tempo
Sets the project tempo in beats per minute. It is a stepper: type a value, or use the up and down controls to nudge it.
Tempo is what makes musical positions meaningful: it drives the
beats:bars timecode format and
musical snapping.
Tempo appears in the Music workspace only; the Classic, Modern and Spectral editing workspaces do not show it. See Workspaces for switching between them.
Time Signature
Sets the project time signature: how many beats are in a bar, and which note value counts as a beat. It is a selector: pick a signature from the list.
Together with Tempo, it decides where bar and beat lines fall,
which in turn drives the beats:bars
timecode format and the musical
subdivisions in Snapping.
Like Tempo, it appears in the Music workspace only.
