Hi Phil,

Where is this suggestion? All tempo indications should really be in
MetronomeMarkup if possible -- here's an example of how I do it, with some
Scheme functions to help out:
tempoMU =
#(define-music-function
(parser location text)
(string?)
#{
\tempo \markup \override #'(font-series . medium) $text
#})
tempoMUMM =
#(define-music-function
(parser location prependText notevalue mmText)
(string? string? string?)
#{
\tempo \markup \override #'(font-series . medium)
\concat {
$prependText
" ("
\hspace #0.3 \fontsize #-2.2 \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #$notevalue
#1 \hspace #0.55
$mmText
")"
}
#})
stuff = \relative c' {
\tempoMUMM #"Stupendously" #"4" #"= ca. 1000"
\repeat "unfold" 16 { c4 }
\tempoMU "rall" c c c c
\tempoMU "a tempo" c c c c
}
\score {
\stuff
}
That way you can control midi speeds, etc., in the tempo command(s).
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
