The knobs on P3 have 128 possible positions, so over a tempo range of 40 to
250 BPM, it's not possible to have every integer value.
The fine tempo adjust feature gets round that for direct tempo setting in
steps of 0.1 BPM, but there isn't a fine tune for bank initial tempo.

However, it occured to me some time ago that using the DATA knob to enter
the bank initial tempo is a bit superfluous.
How often would you set the initial tempo to something other than the
current tempo you have selected ?
So, it may be an idea to change the way that bank initial tempo is set so
that it simply captures the current tempo - including any fine tempo adjust.
