Re: Tempo mark

[Mats Bengtsson]

Search the mailing list archives of lilypond-user for
"tempo markup" to find some examples of typesetting the
metronomization as part of a text markup.

To change the position of the metronome mark, you have to find out
what kind layout object in LilyPond is used to typeset it. To do that,
you could start from the manual section on Metronome marks:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Metronome-marks.html#Metronome%20marks
and follow the links
MetronomeChangeEvent -> Metronome_mark_engraver -> MetronomeMark
which gives the name of the layout object "MetronomeMark" and
a list of the properties that are set by default. To see more
properties that can be set, you have to follow the links to the
different interfaces.
To conclude, you could raise a tempo indication by
\override MetronomeMark #'padding = #2.0
for example.

See also the new section on Changing defaults in the manual for
version 2.2, for a general background on these issues.
