I have been creating a score that frequently has a "rall" marking followed
by "a tempo" to get the performers back up to speed. I spent a while being
mystified as to where my "a tempo" markings had gone, and then realised that
LilyPond ignores them, since they are all the same. I checked and found
that I create the "rall" marking as a \markup, as suggested in the
documentation. I then looked online to see if there's any mention of using
\markup for tempo variations and saw that there are a few mentions of where
people want to use LilyPond to create Midi and therefore wanted the tempo
variances to affect the playback speed. The response was that there are
lots of different sorts of markup and they can't all be catered for. In a
way, I can accept that, but it does seem odd that LilyPond won't allow me to
write "a tempo" followed by "rall" followed by "a tempo", since it's 100%
justifiable music markup.
I think if necessary I can work around it by using something like:
\set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t
\tempo 4 = SomeValue
\set Score.tempoHideNote = ##f
except that doesn't work either - I have to shift the \set
Score.tempoHideNote = ##f further down the score to effectively turn off the
display of the tempo marking.
Thoughts?
