So you're only adding your tempo markings to one context? And now you're going to manually add it to a second context? What happens if you change the tempo marking? You'll have to (manually) change it in both places, yes? > Or is there a way of moving to a particular bar number without all the > counting? There are several such functions floating around: the edition-engraver (EE) of course supports this kind of thing; David K once wrote an "addAt" (I think?) function; and I remember at least one other attempt some years ago. > That would be difficult if there are \set Score.currentBarNumber commands to > cope with as well. The EE handles that situation; I don't remember if the addAt function does. Another possibility — essentially exactly what you're asking about — would be to write a [Scheme?] engraver that checked all contexts in a score for a MetronomeMark event, and added any event found to all "flagged" contexts automatically. Maybe look into that option!
