I'm wondering if there is a way to set up a tempo change on the single patch?

Short answer: no

Easiest solution would be to use a pre-recorded click track audio file running in a Playback plugin sync'd to the main backing track plug

I've created a tutorial on how to change tempo mid-song on the same patch here. Basically you assign tempo values to buttons. Let me know if it works for ya. See link:

Sure, this will allow you to change the tempo with screen controls, but the OP needs the tempo changes to be in sync with the Backing Tracks, and ideally automated. Your method is unlikely to be helpful in a live 'play to the click' situation.

I would recommend simply using a pre-recorded click track in an instance of Playback

You're absolutely right. If you're running backing tracks, click track should definitely be pre-recorded. My method is more meant for if you're not having tempo changes mid-song, but per song. The way I use it is the click is controlled by the drummer, so I know the click for each song, and I just switch it to that to be in time.

I guess the other way you can do it is to have MainStage get its tempo changes from an external midi clock. If you're using, lets say ableton for your tracks, I think you can sync the midi clock to MainStage.
