Not good advice. Better to understand where to place \global
for best effect. If you mark up one part's notes with tempos,
then you can't produce separate scores for other individual
instruments unless you mark them up too, in which case you've
now got to maintain a lot of duplicate cade.

The \global is better placed in the \score section, inside the

Place the \global here, as if it's just another part.
