I never used it myself, but it took me less then a minute by trail and error to find out, that if you open the tempo map, you could chose a colour for a marker and give it a name. Then push the add button. With the mouse move one of the blue markers (edit head and tail) above your marker and then you can move the marker that was added by the tempo map dialog, to any position you like. After that select the marker in the tempo map and add what ever tempo you want at this position. You could move the play head from one marker to another by using the |< and >| buttons. IMO it's self-explaining. There might be some features that aren't self explaining or that require more than less than a minute of trail and error. I don't know if the Qtractor Wiki / online manual informs about those features. I never read it. https://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/Manual%20-%204%20Qtractor--An%20Overview/#4-qtractor-an-overview http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html#Support https://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/Home/ Users could ask for help at Qtractor devel mailing list. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qtractor-devel If you should be subscribed to Linux audio user mailing list, you also could ask there. Rui, the coder is subscribed to Linux audio user. However, he usually replies faster, if you send a request to Qtractor devel. http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user Regards, Ralf -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
