Hello list,
I wonder what is the preferred way to set tempo marks as "ritardando", "a
tempo" etc. The lilypond documentation is very good in general, but I did not
find much information about this.
I tried a scheme macro that I found in
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Style-sheets.html:
tempoMark = #(define-music-function (parser location markp) (string?)
#{
\once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left
\once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'no-spacing-rods = ##t
\mark \markup { \bold $markp }
#})
But it does not work very well. There are collisions with text like ^"arco",
and rehersal marks completely disappear if they are at a position where also
a \tempoMark is.
Tempo markups are quite common, so I think there should be a standard way to
enter them. In my opinion, scheme functions are not very standard.
Greetings and many thanks in advance,
~michael
