In the Spanish list arose a similar issue. It would be fine to do this
using \tempo.
This hack makes the measure to grow making the tempo indication to fit:
{
\compressFullBarRests
\textLengthOn
\tempo "Allegretto interminable" 4=96
\once \override TextScript #'X-extent = #'(0 . 36) s1*0_\markup { "" }
R1*19
R1*30
}
But it is non-automatic. It would have been easier to put a long
markup full of spaces.
Looking further for a solution, we saw that the definition of textLengthOn
textLengthOn = {
\override TextScript #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
\override TextScript #'extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 . +inf.0)
}
now the problem is to find what type of object is a tempo indication,
and do the same. Later on we found that a tempo indication such as
\tempo "String" 2=90
is not an object, but rather a sequence consisting of a tempoText
object followed by a tempoWholesPerMinute object, then a
tempoUnitDuration and finally a tempoUnitCount. If we could calculate
what's the extent of this all, we could give the measure a sensible
width.
I'm sorry here is where my knowledge ends. Please share whatever you find.
