Hi all,

I'd like to compute the \tempo directive from variables, but couldn't yet 
figure out how to do it.

For example, let's say I have two variables such as
myTempoBase = 4
myTempo = 80

Then I'd like to do something such as
global = {
    \key c \major
    \time 4/4
    \tempo \myTempoBase = \myTempo
}

I'd expect it to resolve to \tempo 4 = 80. The above code however fails on 
2.24.1.

Any ideas?

%%%%
myTempoBase = ##{ 4 #}
%%%%

That seems to work.  Otherwise, myTempoBase is just a number and not a duration.

Yes, indeed. Thanks a lot!
