After setting the time signature map, you have to create the tempo map by adding the necessary
tempo event(s). Like a time signature event, a tempo event specifies the tempo at the tempo
changing point. Each tempo specified by a tempo event is effective until the next event appears.
For example, you can set the tempo to 120 at the third beat in bar 4, and set to 90 at the second
beat in bar 12, etc.
