Start at a tempo where you can play accurately and comfortably. For a difficult passage, reduce BPM until the movement feels controlled, then increase gradually. BPM is a beat count, so the chosen beat unit matters: the default is quarter notes.

Use 3/4 for three quarter-note beats per bar. In 6/8, six eighth notes can be grouped as two sets of three; choose Dotted Quarter Note as the BPM beat unit if your score marks tempo that way. In 7/8, change accents to match groupings such as 2+2+3.

You can set 1–16 beats per bar and choose subdivisions separately. Swing shifts the second subdivision later within each beat.

Gradual Speed-Up raises BPM every chosen number of bars until you reach your target. For example, start at 70 BPM, add 2 BPM every four bars, and aim for 100 BPM.

Silent Bars alternates clicks and muted bars while the visual beat continues. Try two audible bars followed by two silent bars to hear whether you stay with the pulse when the click returns.

Tap along to a steady beat, or use the BPM Finder with an audio file. For tempo-synced effects, use the BPM to ms Calculator. Tune before practice with the Online Tuner.
