When performing meter or tempo operations, it is advisable to use the BBT
ruler (available by right-clicking an existing marker or ruler name), and
- ensure that the constraint modifier is set (in Preferences->User Interaction)
+ ensure that the constraint modifier is set (<kbd class="mod3n"></kbd> by default,

so that no other modifiers share its key combination. The constraint modifier
is the "Constrain drags using: " setting under the "When Beginning a Drag"
heading. One viable setting is
<ul>
<li>by double clicking on a tempo marker. This opens the tempo dialog which
allows entering the tempo directly into an entry box.</li>
- <li>by using the constraint modifier (which is set in Preferences->User

This is the preferred way to match the tempo to previously recorded
material.</li>

When dragging the BBT ruler, musical snap has no effect, however be warned
that non-musical snap is in effect if enabled. Snapping to a minute while

punchy and synchronised to the sample.

This is used for more complex tempo solving, as it allows changing of the
position and tempo of a tempo marker in the same drag; it is, however, a
useful way to adjust the first tempo for a quick result.</li>
