Often I set the tempo slower than the default. If I have done so and I go to check my progress "view segment progress", when I return to the lesson, the tempo is back at the default setting.

See the graphic I made of the measure. https://imgur.com/6eFUKDZ The top measure is as it is written in the lesson. The bottom measure is how it sounds to me as played in the dem...
