Re: missing \tempo mark (minimal example attached)

[nothingwavering]

Thank you for the help!  I found an easy workaround.  

I put an empty script on the spacer after the tempo change.

This gives:

\version "2.16.0"

<<
        \new Staff {
                c'1
                \tempo 4 = 42
                s1 -""
        }
>>


That works as expected.  Maybe this will help someone else.
