I can add a new MIDI command type specific to the BeatBuddy (which would only be visible if Settings->MIDI Settings->MIDI Device Type was set to "BeatBuddy" which is something I would have to add), but it does not make sense to have a generic "Tempo to MIDI" command or anything of that nature, because the control change implementation used with the BeatBuddy is specific to the BeatBuddy. Every MIDI device can work differently and accept different messages.
I do not want to support a concept of "global" MIDI messages, as there are very few instances that I'm aware of where that makes sense or is useful in any way. I can consider adding an option specific to the BeatBuddy (something that can be set under Settings->MIDI Settings if MIDI Device Type is set to "BeatBuddy") to send a song's tempo when the song is loaded (if a tempo has been set for the song). I'm really going to need to hear from more BeatBuddy users though, because I have no idea how popular the BeatBuddy is or how many users utilize it.
