Did some further tests, keeping beats per bar at 4, and number of bars 8. The incorrect tempo seems to be detected if the tempo of the generated rhythm track is 72 bpm or below. @saintmatthieu . Is this behaviour expected, or is it a bug?

On Windows, the tempo is detected as 90 bpm:

On macOS though, the same rhythm track is detected as 120:
