playback tempo

I am trying out NWC, and have entered most of a song, but it plays back terribly slowly, and I can't seem to get it to pick up the tempo. I've entered the correct tempo on the staff, and have tried using the Multi-point Controller to be sure it is set correctly. Does NWC always play back at the same tempo?

The tempo setting should govern.

Try canceling the MPC that you've entered, and just set the tempo marking normally.

Check to see if you have another staff, perhaps a hidden one, that has a tempo marking on it that is placed a little to the right of the one you're wanting to use.  If so, get rid of it.

If none of that works, describe to us what you did to set the tempo, and what the tempo is i.e. quarter = 120.  .  Maybe you're missing something.

Thanks so much, David.  I didn't realize that another staff in the same system had a slower tempo - I think it was the default.  I inserted the correct tempo on every staff (half=80) and it works perfectly now.  You've made my day!

I think the default is quarter note = 120, at least that's what new files open at for me.

Anyway, glad you found the solution.
