Re: Lyric placement and tempo woesIf you look at the very opening of the
Notation Reference, it says that \relative works like this:
\relative startpitch musicexpr
notes in braces are a music expression: { c d e f }. But so is \tempo
"something". So the \relative applies to the \tempo marking, and, of course,
has no effect on it. Best to get into the habit of following \relative with
paired braces.

Phil,
Don't quite understand this, but that's the problem with being a newbie. I'd
have thought that markings all referred to the next block. But your solution
works fine. Thanks.
Best regards,
Peter

So the music that immediately follows the \relative is your \tempo
marking, so it is only that that the \relative applies to. If you wrote
\tempo "Allegretto con moto"
\relative c''
{
music
}
The \relative would apply to everything in the { } block

More newbie problems:
1) I'm trying to arrange a part song with lyrics for each stave. The
snippet below puts the lyrics at the bottom of all the staves - but I seem to
be copying the manual. See Warlock2OK attached.
2) If I add a tempo indication (delete the "%") the pitch changes (see
Warlock2WRONG attached) - this is the first occasion I've heard that adding a
tempo mark changes a mezzo-soprano into a baritone - she won't be happy!
Any help welcome.
Regards,
Peter
