Tempo ramp glitch

It took me about an hour consulting the docs and experimenting to understand how to create tempo ramps:

  1. Make two tempo markers on the marker timeline (either with right clicking on the Tempo ruler or by clicking with the Grid tool)
  2. Set the second one to the target tempo in “constant” mode
  3. Set the first one to “ramping” mode and give it the start and end tempos

In the process of this I discovered that if I do this backwards it doesn’t work, because editing the second tempo marker resets the previous tempo marker to “constant” mode.

Why is this?

I’ve put up a video capture (which Discourse won’t allow me to upload here unfortunately) at Ardour tempo ramp glitch · GitHub

I’m on Ardour 9.8. :musical_score:
