I have now got around to trying to use
text-spanner-inner-text-lyric-mode.ly, as suggested by Pierre.
The basic concept is great, but I am having a few difficulties (some of
which may be to do with the fact that I have never used \lyricmode
before).
It has been suggested that a Tempo spanner might be useful eventually.
That would certainly have helped me, because I want "accelerando
molto----al----Vivace (𝅗𝅥=138)" to appear in each of the four parts of
the string quartet, but only once in the score. I have got around this
problem for now by using tags named "forScore" and forPart".
My second problem is that I want upright, bold text - the style that is
usually used for tempo markings. Unfortunately, I have not found a way
of doing this, other than using \markup \upright \bold for each distinct
part of the text, thus:
\addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
\markup \upright \bold "accelerando molto" --
\markup \upright \bold al --
\markup \upright \bold "Vivace (2 = 138)" }
I can't help feeling that there must be a way of formatting lyrics
globally, but I haven't managed to find it in the manual yet.
The third problem is the minim for the tempo marking at the end. I
can't use \note #"2", because that will be treated as a separate markup
and be spaced away from "Vivace(" and "= 138)".
Is there a way of achieving what I want?
