2 \tempo command at the same time
Hi everyone!
I'd like to put an indication displayed in all the parts but only once
in the score, like a tempo mark.
I found this syntax:
\tempo \markup { swing }
But at the same place in the score, I already have a \tempo command:
\tempo 4=125
\tempo \markup { swing }
c
And Lilypond ignore the second.
What do I have to do to display both indications?
Thanks

Hi Anton,
Can't you do:
\tempo Swing 4=125
Or is that not what you are looking for?

Re: 2 \tempo command at the same time
In fact I'm transcribing a jazz song for classical musicians. There are tempo changes and also a passage without swing. So I prefer to stay relatively accurate in the indications and avoid any confusion.

Re: 2 \tempo command at the same time
If you're producing a jazz lead sheet (as the swing indicates), you're wrong.
\tempo Swing 4=125
Merely indicates that the *style* is Swing while the tempo is 125. You could
also write
\tempo Swing 4=200
Which would indicate that this is a swing piece of tempo 200.
Jazz tempo indications don't work like classical ones where a tempo name also
implies a certain (narrow) range of bpm.

\tempo Swing 4=125 seems to mean the tempo is Swing which correspond to
4=125. Whereas what I want is 2 different independent indications. The same
result but without the parenthesis for example.
Maybe the \tempo command is not the command to use in this case. But I didn't
find another way to have an indication once in the score and in each part.

I never saw a jazz lead sheet with swing written followed by the metronome

see some examples of it.

I think you're looking for the \mark command, which does exactly what you're
looking for, once in the score and in each part:
\new Staff \relative c'' { \tempo 4=120 \mark \markup { \hspace #30 swing
