Default Does Pro Tools Calculate Average Tempo From Tempo Map?

When a tempo map is created, does Pro Tools calculate what the average tempo is for all of the Bar | Beat Markers?

Never heard of such a thing.
What would be the point of that?

the simple, direct answer to your question is:
No. Pro Tools does not do that.

and here's an existing thread (1st hit on Google) that will help you to overcome the desire of ever wanting to know why one would ever want to calculate such a thing:

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but it seems fairly simple: If you have 16 bars of music that varies a bit, and you do an Identify Beat at the start and an Identify beat at bar 16, Pro Tools will calculate the average tempo over those 16 bars. Is that not what you want?

That would delete the tempo map, wouldn't it.

Or the 16 bars would become the average map.

However. If you use “tap tempo” you are averaging!
Hit enter and get your number.

OP's asking for average tempo over a specific period - if you drop a beat marker at start and end of passage you'll get average tempo for that period.

Ah, yes, of course; I could just do that first… thanks.
