__This plugin processes the first bar object (note, text, line, etc.) in a passage selection, or each bar object in a non-passage selection. It gets the time signature and current tempo in beats per minute, figures out the size of the beat under the current time signature, and adds a formatted metronome mark at the location of the selected object. __If there is an existing tempo or mm text at the location where the plugin wants to write its text, it will ask you to replace the existing text or skip writing a new text. __There is no dialog, and no options. __You can add a correct mm text anywhere in the score. As with manually added mm text, the text will not change automatically if you change the tempo elsewhere in the score. The tempo value is fixed when you create the text. __Updated 13 March 2023. Version 01.09.01.Did Reset Position on added text, which was being added too high by default. __Updated 03 March 2024. Version 01.09.40. Some restructuring to make it easier to be called by another plugin.
