Re: Metronome Markings

[Mats Bengtsson]

Last time I tried the setup.exe, version 2.2.2 was available as
an installation option. Otherwise, if you search the mailing list
archives, you can find information on how to install version 2.4.x
in cygwin.

It's a bug.  It will work in most of the places you tried if you also 
add:

^\markup{ " " }
at the same place.

As Erik has already pointed out, no metronome markings at all are
printed in version 2.2.5, but they should work for example with 2.2.2
and with newer versions. I think the bug Paul refers to is not relevant
here. Wasn't that related to scores that started with full bar rests?

Thank you all for your help.  I was finally able to test it on 2.2.2, 
and indeed it prints as it should.  I must have done something wrong in 
my initial test case.  2.2.5 seems to be the only version Cygwin ships 
with.  I will have to look up who maintains the Cygwin port and see if 
an update is in the works.

Thanks again!
Aaron
