    As a general approach, the best way to control tempo ramps is to use them in pairs.

    Lets imagine we want to match the click to a drum performance recorded in 'free time'.

    In a general sense, adding tempo markers in pairs allows you to 'pin' your previous work while you move further to the right.

    Holding down the constraint modifier, and with snap set to 'TC Frames', grab the BBT ruler just after 4|1|0. Drag the ruler so that 4|1|0 snaps to the 'phone' frame.
