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. - -by holding down the constaint modifier while dragging a tempo vertically. +
+by holding down the constaint modifier while dragging a tempo vertically. this is best used for complex tempo solving, as it allows you to change 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.

If a tempo is locked to music, an entry will be available to lock it to audio. Similarly an audio-locked tempo may be locked to music by right clicking it an selecting the "Lock to Music" entry. - -Audio locked tempos stay in their frame position as their neigbours positions are altered. Their pulse (musical) position will change as their neighbours move. -Music locked tempos move their frame position as their neighbours are moved, but keep their pulse position (they will move as the music is moved).
