Hi Kieran The following shows how I change the Midi tempi - you can easily adapt this example to do what you want:
TempiA= { \override Score.MetronomeMark #'padding = #3.0 %Page 1 System 1 Bar 1 \tempo 2=80 s1 | s | s | s | s | s | s | %Page 1 System 2 Bar 8 % the following tempo changes implement the fermata in bar 9 \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t % hide the marks s1 | \tempo 2=50 s | \tempo 2=80 s | s1 | s | s | s | s | s | %Page 1 System 3 Bar 17 % the following tempo changes implement the fermata in bar 18 s1 | \tempo 2=50 s | \tempo 2=80 s | s | s | s | s | s | } I simply insert this in parallel with the music.

My example is the Bach Sinfonia from Partita #2. It has a Grave, Andante, and Allegro, but the MIDI file plays all the sections at the same speed, 120bpm. I am looking for a way to modify the .ly file so that it generats a MIDI file that plays the Grave at say 40bpm, the Andante at 80bpm, and only the Allegro at 120bpm. I would greatly appreciate any help to discover how to do this!
