Is there any convention as to how many beats per minute Adagio means? Anyone got a table for the different Italian tempi signatures and their equivalence in beats per minute for, say a quarter-note? Maybe something for NW:s Helpfile?

I thought there was something somewhere, but I can't find it. Here's a few settings I've used before...
Largo 40-60
Larghetto 60-66
Adagio 66-76
Andante 76-108
Moderato 108-120
Allegro 120-168
Presto 168-208
hope this gets you started...

Andrew
