Re: Metronome marks

Hi Mattias

It's possible (most things are in LilyPond) but it's not easy (at least I 
don't know an easy way).  Essentially you have to create a tiny score 
without a staff, etc.  Have a look at
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=204
This should give you some clues, or maybe easier, you can simply copy out 
the functions and use them.
