Tempo can be adjusted in several ways:
NOTE - 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 dragging a beat may result in some verly slow tempos. Snapping a beat to a video frame however is an incredibly useful way to ensure your soundtrack is punchy and synchronised to the sample.
A tempo may be remped or constant.
To add a new tempo, use the primary modifier and click on the tempo line at the desired position. The new tempo will be the same as the tempo at the position of the mouse click (it will not change the shape of the ramp). -<.p> +
To copy a tempo, hold down the primary modifier and drag the tempo you wish to copy.
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'.

We now locate the earliest position where the click doesn't match, and place a new tempo just before this.

This is because the previous tempo is ramping to the tempo you are changing. Look further to the left. The tempo lines in the first four bars do not move.
Again, some time later the click will not align. I didn't say this was easy.

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.
Notice what happened : The second tempo was changed.
