Re: allegro

[Mats Bengtsson]

I begin with the last question. If you insert an \tempo 8. = 120
within the music, you will get a printed tempo mark.

The easiest way to combine it with a textual tempo indication is
to use a text markup for the text and \tempo for the metronome
indication. You may have to increase the padding property of the
text to avoid collisions.

You could also construct the full layout using text markups, such as
^\markup{ Allegro \small \note #3 #1 #1 "=" 120 }
but then you don't get the tempo change in the MIDI file.
