Setting tempo

To change tempo or set the metronome on or off, click the metronome symbol in the righthand bar of tools, underneath the Undo and Redo buttons. That will bring up a panel with a tempo slider and various options.

If you check the "tick divided beats" box the metronome will provide two ticks for each beat, using a different sound for the offbeat. In a compound meter a divided tick will be heard in three parts, with two offbeats.

Note that the miscellaneous tools palette also contains a "tempo change" tool that allows you to insert a change of tempo anywhere in a piece.
