 Here if you replace the `padding' property with
 `outside-staff-padding' it should work, i.e.
 \override Score.MetronomeMark.outside-staff-padding = #2
 
 
 hth,

Thanks for that - it's just what I needed.

Greetings David,

Is the command \markLengthOn possibly what you are looking for?

 Hi David,

 please provide a minimal example, including a version-statement.

 Cheers,
   Harm

 Dominic pointed out that I should have usedMetronomeMark, not
 TextScript, so I have corrected this.

 \version 2.18.0

 topLine = {
 \relative c'' {
   \tempo Tempo 1 c2 c |
   \tempo Tempo 2 c'4( g c,2) |
   \tempo Tempo 3 f8 c g c, c'2 |
 }
 }

 bottomLine = {
 \relative c'' {
   \tempo Tempo 1 c1 |
   \tempo Tempo 2 c1 |
   \tempo Tempo 3 c1 |
 }
 }

 \score {
 \new StaffGroup 
   \override Score.MetronomeMark.padding = #2
   \topLine
   \bottomLine
 
 }

 In the above, Tempo 1 appears where I want it, but Tempo 2 and
 Tempo 3 are respectively too close to the slur and the beam.

 Also, sometimes I have 2 successive markings which come close together
 but which nevertheless have to be anchored to different points in the
 music.  It would be useful to have these appearing at the same height as
 each other, even though the clearance beneath one of them might be more
 than it would need if it appeared on it's own.  Is there any way of
 achieving this, other than tweaking each individual case in each
 individual part?

I don't think so, but thanks for the suggestion.  The problem is not the
horizontal space occupied by the marks, but their vertical position in
relation to what is beneath them and also to each other.

 You probably need to adjust MetronomeMark.padding in the score context rather
 than TextScript.padding in the Staff context, thus:
 /\override Score.MetronomeMark.padding = #4/

That seems to work nicely in moving the tempo markings (with or without
actual metronome marks) away from the stave.  (I've settled on a value
of 2.0)

But it does not seem to increase the clearance between a tempo mark and
a slur or a beam if these are above the top of the stave.  How can I
increase the spacing it these cases?

Adjusting the position of tempo indications

2015-01-12 Thread David Sumbler 
The default position of tempo indications is, to my eye, rather too
close to whatever is beneath them, be it a stave, a note or a slur.

I have tried experimenting with

\override TextScript #'padding = #4

and

\override TextScript.padding = #4

(I was unsure of the syntax) just to see if I can get my tempo markings
to move, but neither of these works.

How can I get tempo markings to be placed higher?

Also, occasionally I have two such markings quite close together
horizontally.  How can I get them both to be placed at the same level,
even if this means that one of them has more than my default level of
space beneath it?
