Re: Tempo mark (MM) range

[Mats Bengtsson]

You were so close! If you read the details about the \note markup
command in "Overview of Text markup commands", you will notice that the 
second argument is numeric, i.e. it shouldn't be enclosed in
double quotes. So, the following works better:

c^\markup {\small \note #"4" #1 = 92 - 100 }

The proper place to submit your tips and tricks is the LSR.
