Ah.! Ok, thanks for that… interesting.
So essentially, seems its still just the same ol’ Tap Tempo tool, analysing (and displaying) the results of your ‘tapping’ rhythm as a bpm, minus the Beat Calculator functions.
Beat Calculator, automatically calculates an exact tempo for a given/selected range of audio, after entering number of beats.
(And in case anyone’s wondering, using the ‘Tempo Detection’ panel, I never found to be as accurate or reliable).
