Simon, Not all that small, but there's a lot of overrides! Uncommenting the commented-out line moves the text back, so the Largo is correct but the Presto is wrong. Best regards, Peter mailto:lilyp...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com \version "2.19.52" \language "english" global = { \tempo "Largo"

Hi Kieren, Thanks, and I agree. The nuisance is that you have to count all the silent bars where there aren't any tempo changes, which is far less convenient than simply adding a \tempo "Allegro" at the relevant place in the score! I always miscount by at least 1. As this particular score has o

Hi Ch'uqi, Thanks for this. I have to put in the tempo markings for each stave, but that's easier than counting all the silent bars in Simon's solution. I can see that with a score which has several staves needing tempo markings Simon's solution works better, but for two yours is my choice. It'

Is it possible to force a score to put tempo markings above more than the top line? I'd like to put the tempo changes above both of the piano parts in a duet, so the secondo player changes tempo at the same time as the primo when sight-reading. I've looked through the snippets and the internals
