Change tempo and keep arrangement/clips in place

Hello there,
I stumbled over a little problem. I arranged a few of the scenes of my audio drama on scratch pads - and finally dragged them into the main arranger window. Everything worked out fine. Lately I inserted some time/silence between the arranger clips (for transitions) and afterwards I wondered why some of the clips have been moved - out of place/sync.
Yesterday I opened the tempo track - and saw 'my problem' :oops:
In my audio drama I work time based - so I didn't pay attention to the bpm tempo. Once I saw it at 120 and considered it 'ok'.
Well, I think, some of my scratchpads must have had the tempo 85 bpm and the sections kept the tempo as I dragged them over into the main arrangement (which basically is totally fine).
So I have to be very careful, where I insert time/silence or I may mess up the position of the follow up clips.

Is there a 'simple' way to change the tempo back to a global 120 bpm - and keep the clips at 'absolute' position. Or switch of the bpm dependance altogether?!

Thanks

Oh, there's quite a few things that come into this:
- Timebase settings (seconds/bars/... , time/beat linear)
- Track settings (Follow/Don't follow/Timestretch)
- Tempo set (or not) for events on the tracks
- If you want to use tempo or stretching at all.

I'd experiment with those. Save the 'song', try something, if it isn't what you want then close without saving, reopen, etc.
One thing you can try is open the Inspector and delete the File Tempo setting for the scratch pad events, set the tracks to Don't follow, and set the tempo in the scratchpad to 120. With everything on 120 or 'not set' things shouldn't shift out of place when dragging.

Hope that helps, a bit
