Hello
according to the mail archives, I should just insert a \tempo directive whenever I want to change the tempo (I think this should be in the manual). 1) For multiple staff music, should I insert just one set of markings for one of the staves (does it matter which one) or should they all have a (redundant) tempo marking ?2) Regardless, this does not seem to function. Here is a little bit of test music.
sopNotes = { \relative c' { \tempo 4=100 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 \tempo 4=50 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 } } % mezNotes = { \relative c' { \tempo 4=100 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 \tempo 4=50 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 } } \score { \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff { \context Voice = sop { \sopNotes } } % \new Staff { \context Voice = mez { \mezNotes } } %
\layout {} \midi {} } The resultant midi file (attached) does not change tempo. It makes no difference whether I use one staff or two (and also if I use one staff and drop the \new ChoirStaff syntax it also does not work). I am using V 2.6.3-1 on a Mac Powerbook regards Neil
