Just one last question to pick your brain. Assuming I build an entire
symphonic piece using global block as holder of tempo and markings.
For a full score when I want to only show tempo markings above
certain staves, how is this easiest done? I understand they must
obviously appear in all parts but using a global block like this does
it make it easy to hide such tempo in the master score? I was reading
about consists but I do not understand it I'm sorry.
You don’t need to do anything special. LilyPond by default _only_
prints tempo indications at the very top of the system, regardless in
which staves you actually specified them.
This behaviour can be changed using custom contexts, see

Best, Simon
Simon thank you for helpful explanations worked. But I must say that
there is still a problem with the idea of the global block somehow being
different than other variables of any name. Let me show you please.
First look at this correct code
% half note correct
\version "2.19.81"
global = {
\tempo "Very Fast"
s16*2 \tempo "New Tempo"
}
calledvariable = { c2 d }
\new Staff { \calledvariable }
%
When the duration of the called variable is explicitly given, everything
is correct. However, if you remove the duration and have it default to
the normal quarter note, this causes a problem. But it shouldn't.
% this snippet has 16th notes which is broken and wrong
\version "2.19.81"
global = {
\tempo "Very Fast"
s16*2 \tempo "New Tempo"
}
calledvariable = { c d }
\new Staff { \calledvariable }
%
This shows the default duration as a sixteenth note which should be NOT
even considered since it's within an uncalled variable. So why is this
spacer value magically applied to music when it resides it a completely
uncalled variable? This makes no sense to me. Even this snippet makes
things worse.
% This snippet with an uncalled variable somehow makes the duration
whole notes but it shouldnt the variable has not been called why is this
happening it's just a definition of a variable
% and yet it overrides called variables? So basically durations must be
explicitly given if you use uncalled variables? So lost.
\version "2.19.81"
global = {
\tempo "Very Fast"
s16*2 \tempo "New Tempo"
}
junk = { c1 }
calledvariable = { c d }
\new Staff { \calledvariable }
