Re: MetronomeMark in line with sectionLabel

Thanks; that is what I ended up doing. Not sure why I missed your email earlier.

Honestly, I think the simplest solution for now is to insert the
tempo text into the section label, even though that is not semantically
ideal.

\version "2.23.80"

\language "english"
{
   \sectionLabel \markup {
     \bold \smallCaps "Gigue"
     \hspace #0.5
     \fontsize #-3 { \rhythm {{4}} = 100 }
   }
   \repeat unfold 8 c''
}


If you still want the tempo reflected in MIDI output, you could
use the method shown in this snippet:
