I'm inserting a **** using the draw line tool in the tempo view.  The new values display in the Tempo List pane, but the transport does not reflect the tempo change, nor does the tempo display.  Am I missing something here?

not sure why**** is in my post.  I typed ritard for ritardando.

Probably because it's a banned word?
 
Do you mean you entering a new tempo here:
 

 
but the change isn't reflected in the music, or any visual display?

Problem solved...for some reason, although I used the draw tool to insert the rit. starting at m19 and stopping at meas 20, it started in 19 and jumped to m38.  I hadn't noticed this on the tempo list.  I have no clue why it did that, but i deleted and started over with success.  THanks for the responses.

No problem. Thanks for letting me know.

Does this forum software really mistake ritard for the similar word that has an 'e' as its second letter?
Edit: No I see.  The OP must have accidentally  typed ****.

No need to do that any more.  The new forum flags answered threads if you click on ""Best Answer" for one of the posts within the thread.

Ah. I've not come across that yet.
