What has F11 (full screen) got to do with it?
Anyway: undock the play panel from the toolbar, by dragging it at the 6 dots

I've seen several of your comments and you seem to delight in correcting people rather than enhancing your "logic" with empathy, so you really understand the problem - seems to be a classical musician thing. Macs are different from PC's; F11 is not working for me even with Fn + F11, or Command or Ctrl. It simply does nothing. I also get bugs that are unfixable, or so obscure that the only real fix seems to be opening a new file, and beginning again. Do you work for Musescore or do you just do this for fun?

F11 on Windows/Linux opened the play pannel in Mu3. But never for Mac, for the reasons you stated. And no longer for Mu4, where it is the shortcut for Full Screen (on Windows, Linux)
And yes, I missed that, sorry about that.
I don't work for MuseScore, in the sense that I don't get paid for it. So yes, for fun.

Hi Jojo,
Please understand that YOU are an expert with this program. Not sure about our friend who asked, but I am certainly not.
So your answer, while making perfect sense to you... well I'm lost.
I just want to play my piece a bit slower, or faster, or whatever I'd like. Any help would be most appreciated.
I see 1/4 note = 120 at the top right of the screen and my logic says "click that and / or drag it up or down to change my mm". Not the case.
I don't know what a play panel is, and the 6 dots seem to to nothing for me.
So if you can shed any light on this daunting task of changing my bpm I'd be grateful.

Hi, I'm back. After researching and getting (sadly) no help from our "know-it-all smart-ass poor teacher" (sorry dude but either help or don't... nobody needs your attitude).
So...
1. Go to the View menu
2. Click Palettes
3. Look for "Tempo" to the left of the screen (4th one down)
4. Click and drag 1/4 = 80 onto your score (you have to touch an actual note).
5. When you get it right it will say "1/4 = 80" at the top of your score, double click the number 80 and type in whatever number you want.
6. Write an email to someone who knows entitled "why can't I just double click the bloody Metronome Marking at the top right".

My sincerest thanks, this is just what I was looking for. I'm amazed at the snark directed toward new MuseScore users asking legitimate questions on confusing features.
When I hit F11 it toggles full screen view. It should have nothing to do with tempo unless you have changed the default keyboard shortcuts.
If you can see the tempo marking in your score then you can change the tempo by clicking on it to select and then edit the tempo shown in it to be what you want.
Or after clicking on the tempo marking you can untick the "Follow written tempo" option in the playback section of the properties panel and write in the tempo you want in the box that then becomes enabled.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/tempo-markings
Or you can undock the play panel in the top right hand corner of the screen by dragging on the 6 dots and use the slider to adjust the tempo temporarily.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/playback-controls#play-position-and…
Click on your tempo mark, go check the properties tab and you'll be able to tick or un untick "follow the tempo displayed". (I use Musescore in French so the translation might not but 100% accurate. Still here is a screenshot that may help)

This method can be used when you only have a single tempo in the score. Some scores have tempo changes, and then a global tempo change is more useful, which changes all tempos by percentage.

Estupendo, vachement bon ca marche 100% abas des connerie
I use a Mac. I choose the measure where a tempo change is needed. Highlight it, go to the palettes, tempo and choose a tempo from the list. It appears above the measure.
Then, you can click on it to change its value.
M4, W10; I can change the tempo temporarily :) by undocking the play set, but not permanently, I have tried clicking on the tempo while docked (left and right buttons, tried ctrl, alt and shift) but it doesn't give me any way to change tempo. Undocked I can change it and it stays at that tempo when docked back...but it's just temporary, since if I undock it again, it still shows a %age.
BTW, my thanks and apologies to those with other mother tongues who suffer with the imperiality of English.

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/tempo-markings for doing it permantly

OK, wherein it says:
Tempo text
You can override the written tempo by unchecking "Follow written tempo" in the Tempo section of the Properties panel, and setting a new tempo in the "Override written tempo" box.
There is nothing for tempo under properties, see screenshot #1
Under palettes, there is Temp, but nothing about overide, see second screen shot
It would be more intuitive just to be about to click on the BPI in the playback menu, then having it buried elsewhere, som levels deep.
Wonderful program....and as with anything this powerful, a steep learning curve

The Properties tab will show you the properties of a selected score element. You first need to select (by clicking on) a tempo marking to view its properties.
See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/tempo-markings#change-playback
But...
You can change an existing tempo by double clicking to directly edit its text, or to change the bpm number - without going into Properties.
If you wish to change the tempo somewhere else in the score, just add a new tempo marking at that point in the score.
