Tap tempo is available in the key commands. I'm not sure whether it's named
that way, but it's there!

I've tried this, but I cannot record tempi properly.  Although I started at 
about 90 bpm and accelerated to about 120 bpm smoothly, Logic stays at 
about 90 bpm for several bars and then suddenly jumps to about 800 bpm...

I used to work with Performer (long time ago) and Performer interpreted the 
tempi beat by beat (interpreted each tap as exactly bar XX/beat Y).  But 
Logic's recorded tap tempi are at bar XX/ beat Y/ ZZZ ticks and their 
intervals are too coarse to reproduce the accelerando/ ritardando.

I tried all tempo resolutions and tweaked the tempo interpreter parameters 
but had no luck.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Do you have a Unitor midi interface? If so, you can tap tempo through its input
when you use a pedal e.g.
I've tried the feature some times and it worked, but then I only need 1 static
tempo and don't need it to evolve.
Sorry, can't help any further with it. :(

Bye,
Joeri

There's a small handy program called MacBPM. I use it for tap-tempo all the
time.

Hope this helps, you didn't mention if you were Mac or PC.
