Hi guys !
When you have imported a midi file into LMMS, is it possible to copy the tempo of "the global automation editor" to a "normal" automation track.
Thank you for any answers.

Hi guys !

It is, you simply just drag the BPM into a regular automation track, then that automation track will contain the imported BPM, but why would you want to that? -The project will already be fixed in the imported BPM value.
I suspect that what you really do want to do is the control the BPM from a regular automation track, and override the annoying locked imported value(?)
If so First drag the value into your regular automation track, tight-click the BPM-gadget and there choose 'remove-global-automation'. Now it is your regular automation track that controls the BPM, and you are in full control of that.

Hi MusikBear
Thanks for you answer.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. There are a lot of complicated tempo changes in the global automation tempo track. When I simply drag the BPM, it only copy the actual value, not all the track with the changes....
Do I have to copy each tempo change one by one ?
In fact the midi tempo changes are good, but i would like to work on it in order to create a more personal interpretation.

Ohh there are several changes

Yes, i am afraid that you would need to do that, but i think you should do this i a different way
Grab a pencil and watch the counter as you replay, then write down where the changes happens, and what they are, then make an automation-track
Important!
Remember to drag the BPM into the new automation-track before you delete the global automation-track !
delete the global automation-track
use the notes info, and build the automation-track.
I think that is simpler but grabbing and dragging into automation-tracks will also work
