Re: 2 \tempo command at the same time

[Anton Curl]

I don't know much about jazz. It's not the kind of music I'm usually typesetting.

I never saw a jazz lead sheet with swing written followed by the metronome mark between brackets. If it's the policy, I can adopt it. But I'm curious to see some examples of it.

If you're producing a jazz lead sheet (as the "swing" indicates), you're wrong. 

\tempo "Swing" 4=125

Merely indicates that the *style* is Swing while the tempo is 125. You could also write 

\tempo "Swing" 4=200

Which would indicate that this is a swing piece of tempo 200. 

Jazz tempo indications don't work like classical ones where a tempo name also implies a certain (narrow) range of bpm.

That's not exactly what I want.

"\tempo "Swing" 4=125" seems to mean "the tempo is Swing which correspond to 4=125". Whereas what I want is 2 different independent indications. The same result but without the parenthesis for example.

Maybe the \tempo command is not the command to use in this case. But I didn't find another way to have an indication once in the score and in each part.

Hi Anton,

Can't you do:

\tempo "Swing" 4=125

Or is that not what you are looking for?

Hi everyone!

I'd like to put an indication displayed in all the parts but only once
in the score, like a tempo mark.

I found this syntax:
   \tempo \markup { "swing" }
But at the same place in the score, I already have a \tempo command:
   \tempo 4=125
   \tempo \markup { "swing" }
   c

And Lilypond ignore the second.

What do I have to do to display both indications?

Thanks

Anton Curl
