Sibelius 6 how do I slow the tempo in the middle of a score.

Normally the hidden messages are not displayed. To view press the VIEW button, Hidden objects.
You will notice at the first bar the tempo is set ~crochet=100.  We can change the tempo anywhere by entering this string of text. The tilde ~ is not essential for tempo but if included the instruction will be hidden.

Create text or use the quick keys CTRL+ALT+T
Right click the mouse a flashing vertical line is displayed
Right click on this line will bring a pop up menu from the menu select crotchet symbol CTRL+4
Enter crochet symbol=40.   The music will start off at 100 ticks and slow down to 40 at this point.
