Description

Your idea

Currently, when opening the Playback options of accel., or rit., the tempo change amount is set to a percentage... which is unclear. I don't know what percentage would I need, to increase from 64bpm, to 70bpm (for example). As the title suggests, it would be clearer for users if the tempo change amount was instead a targeted tempo (in bpm).

Problem to be solved

Eliminate the need to calculate or guess the corresponding percentage to get the desired tempo change. Allow users to chose whether they prefer Percentage amount or Targeted Tempo.

Research direction

Start by locating the Playback options for accel. and rit. and inspect how the current percentage amount is presented and applied. Use the issue's concept image as context; done means users can choose either Percentage or Targeted Tempo and set the desired BPM without calculating a percentage.
