Description

Your idea

The tempo tapper would record a specific button (e.g., spacebar, left click) for 10 seconds or so, and set the bpm to the rate of which the user clicked the button. While there are already existing versions of this online, but it would be nice to have this builtin into musescore.

P.S., the tempo tapper from the osu map creator works like a charm, it even allows you to offset a beat by a note or two!

Problem to be solved

Allowing creators to quickly configure the tempo of their song without having to do a lot of work.

Prior art

As mentioned, a search for "tempo tapper" brings up fine results.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating MuseScore's existing tempo controls and input handling, then determine how a timed button-tapping interaction would fit; done means a user can tap for about 10 seconds and have the resulting BPM applied to the score.
