The QS300 allows precise tempo settings from 25 to 300
beats per minute in fine one-tenth of a quarter-note incre-
ments.

The number to the left of the period in the tempo parameter
is the number of quarter-note beats per minute, and the
number to the right of the period represents tenths of a
quarter note.  Move the highlight to the desired part of the
tempo (the ones or tenths section) and change the tempo as
required.
