You can make everything into variables already: Just do allegro = \markup{ Allegro \small \note #3 #1 #1 "=" 120 } , as Mats suggested, and use c4^\allegro to print that tempo indication. If you want to set midi tempo as well, you could do allegro = \notes {\tempo 8.=120 s32^\markup{ Allegro \small \note #3 #1 #1 "=" 120 } } and then use <<c4 \allegro>> (then it could also be a good idea to suppress the paper output from \tempo, which I don't know how to do) Erik _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
