FWIW in the meanwhile I managed to improve the appearance of my metronome
markings by centering them, and by not hiding but omitting the tempo
markings for the MIDI:
\relative c'' {
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) = \markup {
\general-align #Y #DOWN \center-align \smaller \note #"4" #1 \upright "=
56"}
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left-broken text) = ##f
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right-broken text) = ##f
s1\startTextSpan
s1
\once \omit Score.MetronomeMark
\tempo 4 = 56
s1\stopTextSpan
}
The extra dash that results from not being able to use the to-barline
property is, with a centered metronome marking, something I can live with
for the moment :-).
