Controlling tempo with Lingo

To override the tempo set in the movie's tempo channel, you use the `puppetTempo` command. This approach is useful when you want to change the movie's tempo in response to conditions that you can't control, such as the type of computer the movie is playing on or a user's action.

The `puppetTempo` command doesn't retain control of the tempo channel. If the movie encounters any tempo settings in the tempo channel, the `puppetTempo` settings will be overridden.

See `puppetTempo`.
