Re: Allegro

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello,

these statements won't change the tempo in midi output. If you want to 
modify the tempo in a midi file, you have to use
\tempo 4=80 for eight quarters per minute.

to have both nice text in the score and tempo in the midi file you can 
place two tempo statements:
...
\tempo 4=120
\tempo \markup { Allegro \small \italic "nicht zu schnell" }
...

now the text will show up in the score and the midi output have a tempo 
of 120 bpm.

regards,
Jan-Peter.
