Description

Your idea

the new tempo-option "a tempo" should be related to gradual tempo change indstead of tempo within the Text styles because of the following reason. "a tempo" as well as "tempo primo" is not a tempo, rather then a tempo change. It is used in combinaton with e.g. ritardando which is also a tempo change.
Mostly rit. and "a tempo" in standard scores is shown in italic and nonbold (unlike musescore).
Tempo definition like Adagio, Allegro are normally/standard written Bold/Nonitalic (like musescore).
This can be easily changed in version 4.2.
Permanent changes for "tempo" affects "a tempo", "tempo primo" and all other real Tempodefinitions like Allegro Lento and so on.
Permenent changes for "gradual tempo changes" affects all other Tempodefinitions like calando, morendo, ritardando, etc.
If rit. is changed to italic and nobold (using select similar) everything is fine. If you do the same with "a tempo" all tempo definitions (adagio, allegro, etc.) will also change.

Problem to be solved

It would be better to transfer "a tempo" and "tempo primo" to the "gradual tempo change" part to circumvent this problems.
