Logic does it for you. For a tempo change, just put >> another tempo indicator at the tempo change and change the tempo until it >> displays the tempo you are looking for. Correct. However I repeat what I already wrote: there is no score bug, not at all. The original poster has a severe misunderstanding of what the tempo indication and it's relation to BPM actually is. A dotted quarter at 115 means 1.5 quarter at 115 BPM and that is the same tempo as a quarter note at 172.5 BPM. There is no way around that. The tempo signature in the score plain simply means: the depicted note length is played such that it occurs the given number times in a minute. If the original poster writes dotted quarter = 115 and then realizes that the tempo of 115 BPM is what he really wants than he simply is writing the wrong tempo above the score. The correct tempo then would be dotted quarter = 76.6666. Wether one likes it or not. That's how these tempo signatures are defined. You'd never write c-minor if you want two crosses. Why would you want to write the wrong tempo signature ? >If it's not a bug it must be a "feature" - and for me it's an >undesirable one :-) To me it seems as if you should rework your understanding of what time signatures actually mean. It definitely is a feature and it works the way it should. Otherwise it would be a bug.
