I've compared your solution with Hwaen Ch'uqi's and they give slightly different results on the page. As you sent it, the tempo and mark indications are raised too far above the stave - by adjusting the staff-staff spacing I've mended that. But the Largo metronome mark is too far to the right as it seems to be aligned to the first silent note rather than the clef or time signature. When the music changes tempo without anything else, as in the Presto it's in the right place. So you now have to override the X-offset by a variable amount depending on exactly what is in the lower stave at that point, which will give difficulties if there's a line break as well. Compare these, where the vertical placement of your extra staff has been adjusted. <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t4036/Simon.png> <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t4036/Hwaen.png> And here I've done a global override of the X-offset, and now the Presto is too far to the left. <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t4036/Simon2.png> So there doesn't seem to be a simple solution to the issue which is aesthetically pleasing.
