Re: Tempo mark (MM) range

Hi, Ralph:

I'm trying to get a quarter note, followed by an equals sign ("="),
followed by a range ("92-100").

I use this macro:

    tempoMark =
#(define-music-function (parser location prependText notevalue appendText) (string? string? string?)
                #{
                        \mark \markup
{ \line { $prependText " (" \fontsize #-2 \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #$notevalue #1 $appendText ) } }
                #})

Then in my score, I put (e.g.)

    \tempoMark "Fast" "4" "= 220-222"

which gives

    Fast (q = 220-222)

where "q" is a quarter note.

Of course, you can adjust the exact output (e.g., remove the parentheses) in the Scheme code, to suit your needs.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
