There is a difference between tempo *indication* and tempo *modification*.

A tempo -- indication

But it doesn't follow that there should be a difference in the style and placement of these two types of tempo markings. Why not just put all markings that affect tempo in the same place?


The other day I was working on a piece with Rit.'s and Accel.'s and A Tempo's practically every other measure. Since the A Tempo (indication) cancels the Accel. (modification), it's only logical to make them the same style and place them in the same manner. The score would be incredibly difficult to read otherwise.
