Hi Aaron, Unfortunately, Hydrogen is broken with regards to tempo changes at the moment. (I'm using 0.9.1 and trying to work out where the problem lies, but no luck so far.) There is a new beta release, 0.9.2.beta2 I think. It might be worth giving that a try. I posted on the hydrogen forums pointing out that the behaviour was broken, and there was no response; but looking at other postings there, I am sure that the developers are aware of the problem - we can only hope they are working on it. One idea, completely untested - if you export your hydrogen song to midi and then import the midi to muse (or rosegarden?), you could sync muse to ardour, and have muse drive hydrogen. I'll try to test that over this weekend. Cheers, Stuart
