Hello all. I have a section of 8 bars that is repeated three times. I want a gradual accelerando over the total of these 24 bars. When I put an accelerando on the first bar, it speeds up as expected, but at the repeat sign it resets to the original tempo (en speeds up again). Is there a way to have a gradual tempo change over a repeated section?
Hello. Anybody out there?
The following project demonstrates a somewhat tedious way to obtain a gradual tempo change over a section of 8 bars that is repeated three times:

The visible accelerando has its playback suppressed. If you view the hidden signposts, you will see many absolute tempo changes that have their playback suppressed on certain passes. Each tempo change occurs at a different rhythmic position.

Thanks, John. I hoped Dorico had this function somewhere hidden, but probably it hasn’t.
Your solution is indeed a bit tedious, but certainly doable. Thanks for your help.
