Hello list, I wonder what is the preferred way to set tempo marks as "ritardando", "a tempo" etc. The lilypond documentation is very good in general, but I did not find much information about this.
I tried a scheme macro that I found in http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Style-sheets.html: tempoMark = #(define-music-function (parser location markp) (string?) #{ \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left \once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'no-spacing-rods = ##t \mark \markup { \bold $markp } #}) But it does not work very well. There are collisions with text like ^"arco", and rehersal marks completely disappear if they are at a position where also a \tempoMark is. Tempo markups are quite common, so I think there should be a standard way to enter them. In my opinion, scheme functions are not very standard. Greetings and many thanks in advance, ~michael _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
