Re: Metric modulation markup ... à la Carter?

Hi,

Is it possible to make the following tempo markup ...

    \times 2/3 { r8 n4 ~ } n4 = n2

... complete with tuplet bracket (where the n4 and n2 represent simply
\note #"4" and \note #"2")?

How about a nested score, such as in the following snippet?

\version "2.11.32"
metronomeMark = \markup {
    \score {
        \new RhythmicStaff \with {
            \remove Time_signature_engraver
            \remove Staff_symbol_engraver
            fontSize = #-1
        }
        {
            \times 2/3 { r8 c4 ^~ } c4 %unfortunately, the alignment suffers if the slur is down 
        }
        \layout {
            ragged-right = ##t
            indent = #0
        }
    }
}
\score {
    \new Staff {
        \once \override TextScript #'padding = #1
        c'1^\markup { \general-align #Y #down \metronomeMark  = \small \general-align #Y #down \note #"2" #1 }
    }
    \layout { ragged-right = ##t }
}

It's by no means perfect, but there's probably no easier way of embedding the tuplet spanner.

Neil
