Phil,

Don't quite understand this, but that's the problem with being a newbie. I'd 
have thought that markings all referred to the next block. But your solution 
works fine. Thanks.

Best regards,

Peter

You've got:
 
\relative c''
\tempo "Allegretto con moto" 
{ 
So the music that immediately follows the \relative is your \tempo marking, so 
it is only that that the \relative applies to.  If you wrote
 
\tempo "Allegretto con moto" 
\relative c''
{ 
   music
}
 
The \relative would apply to everything in the { } block

Subject: Lyric placement and tempo woes

More newbie problems:

1) I'm trying to arrange a part song with lyrics for each stave. The snippet 
below puts the lyrics at the bottom of all the staves - but I seem to be 
copying the manual. See Warlock2OK attached.

2) If I add a tempo indication (delete the "%") the pitch changes (see 
Warlock2WRONG attached) - this is the first occasion I've heard that adding a 
tempo mark changes a mezzo-soprano into a baritone - she won't be happy!

Any help welcome.
 
Regards,

Peter
