Dear Dirck,
I’ve drawn arrows myself, something like this:
For this, I set my code to the following and use it as a markup (Note: I just
give you the metric equivalency indication part, not the tempo marking:
%%% BEGIN %%%
^\markup {
\translate #'(-7 . 0) {
\hspace #-4 \vspace #0
\concat {
\translate #'(0 . 0.5)
\combine \musicglyph "arrowheads.open.0M1"
\draw-line #'(2 . 0)
\fontsize #-4 \musicglyph "space"
\tiny \general-align #Y #DOWN \override #'(flag-style .
modern-straight-flag) \note {4.} #1
" = "
\tiny \general-align #Y #DOWN
\override #'(flag-style . modern-straight-flag) \note {4} #1
\fontsize #-4 \musicglyph "space"
\translate #'(0 . 0.5) \combine \draw-line #'(-2 . 0) \musicglyph
"arrowheads.open.01"}}}
%%% END %%%
Cheers,
Yoshi
