Possible issue with fractional tempos (eg. q = 65.09 displays as q=65.9)

Hi, I’ve set the tempo engraving options to provide 2 decimal places for tempo marks (I’m engraving an old film score that uses tempos with decimal places). I hit Shift-T then type “q = 65.09.” Dorico displays 65.9

This appears to be an issue. If Dorico were simply rounding up from 65.09, it should display 65.1. A similar issue occurs if I type “q = 65.06.” It displays 65.6. And so on with other decimals.

However, if instead of typing “q = nn.nnn” I simply type a decimal number (such as 65.09), it displays the correct decimal number.

I hope the issue is clear.

Yes, the issue is clear. Thanks for reporting it. We’ll look into this for future versions.
