Split, you’re not understanding. I can view and change the tempo just fine. It’s not a control/power issue. It’s an organizational/workflow issue.
Like Raino, I would like to be able to get rid of the floating transport control. It too often gets lost behind plugins or other windows. It would be nice if there was space at the top of the project window for it. (actually there is plenty of space for it there, they just haven’t put it there yet).
