I am surprised that there is not an initial header that establishes the text for the tempo. In all the music I have seen the leftmost edge of the initial tempo text lines up with the leftmost edge of the meter. I looked through the examples and there are three workarounds:
putting tempo as "piece" in the header, but that is technically too far away from the music omitting the tempo text putting the tempo text as \markup above the f irst note, but that is too far to the right. Also, in this case the text is printing directly over the next few notes with ledger lines. Is there a way I can raise the text for now? I don't really understand how to do it from the documentation. Thanks for any help! _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
