That is okay. Although ideally I want to get the MIDI to work, but for now
I will settle for the score.

Thank you very much for your help, Andrew, and sorry for the late reply.
I think I can see what your function is trying to do,
but unfortunately despite days of looking at the lilypond documentation,
I still have not figure out the syntax for calling a function in lilypond,
in particular I am struggling with the syntax for the arguments.
Would you kindly please show me how to call your function \metroMark?

Sorry I should have mentioned that using a non-integer tempo marking is for
a metric modulation in the music.
The tempo is more like a reference for the musician, alongside with the
tempo relationship between the two section.
