Default Changing tempo markers universally?

Hi,

To explain, I have tempo markers at the top of each bar. Originally the song was around 130 bpm with tempo changes on every bar (normal for humans).
I want to change the time reference to 120 bpm but keep the tempo fluctuations.
Is it possible to do this to all markers at once or am I forced to do this individually to each of them?

P.S. I dont care about the audio tracks.

yes, it's possible . . . but I'm not going to tell you how.

just kidding !

OK....
1. click the little side arrow next to the tempo ruler to show the tempo changes graphically.
2. select your entire tempo timeline with the Select tool.
3. switch to the Trim tool, and trim the tempo either up or down.

Thank you Tweak, you are both a gentleman and a scholar.

It's simple when you know how :)

You're welcome !
... and remember that lane is re-sizeable, if you need to see a better resolution of the tempo marker values and changes.

Mysterious ...

I tried this method but the trim tool does not activate on the tempo grid. I can only move each bar individually (by moving the cursor to the top of the tempo lane where it changes to a hand icon).

Am I doing something wrong?

You must have the multi-tool selected.
Select ONLY the Trim tool.

I will upload a screenshot but specificaly, when I select the trim tool the blue line does not appear, hence the tool is inactive.

BTW, thanks very much for your help.
