Will 4.03 have the tempo change feature.This is what I wanted most from 4.0. ... Am I correct in assuming this for when you change the key, up or down, you can speedup or slow down the tempo back to the original tempo??

Changing the key doesn't change the tempo. Try it, you'll like it.

4.03 will clean up some stuff making tempo possible. Short answer is - probably not. Tempo change is high on the priority list so you can be sure it will be out as soon as possible.

If I'm reading the second half of your post correctly:
Once upon an analog time tempo and key change were tied together. Changing the tempo required changing the key and vice versa.
Everything is done digitaly now so changing one no longer effects the other.
The key change in Hoster does not effect the tempo.

Marklwood is correct Kay change does not change the tempo. It mat seem like it is because of the lower pitch, but the timing is exactly the same.
Tempo may or may not make it into 4.03. It depends on MTU getting all the bug corrections in to get everything available now to working without problems. My guess would be Tempo won't be in this one, but will be in the next one. All of the additional items supposed to be put in by 4.03 have had to be pushed back trying to get Hoster and Vista to play together nicely.

I'm sure it's simply how you are percieving it.
Play a song and time it at plus 5 and minus 5 with the keychanger, and see if there's a difference.

Changing the tempo speeds up a song or slows it down, and again you might percieve a key change where there is none. It's not unusual.

The tempo change will be a nice feature. Some of your singes may want the song played slower or faster to accommodate there singing style. Many times I have singer comment after singing the song was faster or slower than they expected.

The key change does exactly that. Changes the key. It does not speed up or slow the song down. The only time the tempo seems to come into play is at the beginning of the night and at the end of the night.

Many who have NOT had anything to drink seem to think the song is a little slow. Then later in the evening when they have had a "tad" too much, the words seem to go by very fast at times!
