Re: Tempo Marks

[Adrian Oehm]

Hi Xavier

Thanks for that - it works fine.  When I compiled it I got a message saying 
something about not understanding the "Staff_collecting_engraver", so I left 
that out, and it worked fine (when I cleaned up my score block...).

What I ended up with was

        \new Staff = "SA" \with { \consists "Metronome_mark_engraver" } << 
                                \new Voice = "Sopranos" {
                                        \voiceOne
                                        << \global \sopMusic >> }

                                        \addlyrics { \words }
                                        \override Score . LyricText #'font-size 
= 1  % use #-1 for smaller

                                \new Voice = "Altos" {
                                        \voiceTwo
                                        << \global \altoMusic >> }              
                
        >> 

repeated the same way for the PianoStaff, and then the layout section remove 
the metronome engraver from \Score.

Thanks again

Adrian
