Re: tempo

[Mats Bengtsson]

Probably, there have been a number of changes to the way
LilyPond generates and uses TeX code, so that old hack doesn't
work anymore. Actually, if you run lilypond with the flag -V,
you will notice that you get a large number of warnings and
errors from LaTeX. One solution I can think of is to generate
an .eps file for the extra score and use
^"\\includegraphics{mytempo.eps}"
to include it. You have to add
\header{
  ...
  latexpackages = "graphicx"
}
for this to work.

It would also be possible to typeset the tempo indication
using a temporary extra Staff context in the ordinary score.
This is much easier to do in the latest development versions,
because of the \new Staff \with{...} {...} syntax but may also
be done in 2.0 if you define an additional context type for
that purpose. See 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#ossia.ly
and
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#ossia.ly
to get an idea of how such an additional stave can look. Of course
you'd like to remove all staff lines, clefs and so on for your
purpose.
