Curved automation for tempo

[Pepin]

Title is self explanatory, but I was surprised today to find this doesn't work.

Tempo automation is somewhat unique, because you can set min and max values by double clicking the values on the left of the editor. So maybe that's why it wasn't added originally.

Does Reason even do curved tempo automation? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Logic does, and sometimes a curve sounds more natural than a straight line.

No, that's what I'm requesting

You're surprised that Reason doesn't do tempo curves? lol

Not sure what point you're trying to make. All other automation in Reason supports curves, so it's rather surprising that tempo doesn't.

In fact, you can copy a curved automation clip from another lane into the tempo lane and the curve is preserved after adjusting the alien clip. So there's a workaround, and the lack of direct curve editing in the tempo lane seems like an oversight/bug:

I know the story of the curved tempo automation in Reason, but I can't tell you about it without breaking the NDA

Intersting...
Seems like something that should have been fixed in a point update to R11. Since curved clips can already be pasted in, it seems like a small UI tweak to enable curve editing directly.
But I guess there's more to it than that.
