Here if you replace the `padding' property with `outside-staff-padding' it
should work, i.e.
\override Score.MetronomeMark.outside-staff-padding = #2

I don't think so, but thanks for the suggestion.  The problem is not the
horizontal space occupied by the marks, but their vertical position in
relation to what is beneath them and also to each other.

Greetings David,

Is the command \markLengthOn possibly what you are looking for?

Dominic pointed out that I should have used"MetronomeMark", not
"TextScript", so I have corrected this.

\version "2.18.0"

topLine = {
\relative c'' {
\tempo "Tempo 1" c2 c |
\tempo "Tempo 2" c'4( g c,2) |
\tempo "Tempo 3" f8 c g c, c'2 |
}
}

bottomLine = {
\relative c'' {
\tempo "Tempo 1" c1 |
\tempo "Tempo 2" c1 |
\tempo "Tempo 3" c1 |
}
}

\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\override Score.MetronomeMark.padding = #2
\topLine
\bottomLine
>>
}

In the above, "Tempo 1" appears where I want it, but "Tempo 2" and
"Tempo 3" are respectively too close to the slur and the beam.

Also, sometimes I have 2 successive markings which come close together
but which nevertheless have to be anchored to different points in the
music.  It would be useful to have these appearing at the same height as
each other, even though the clearance beneath one of them might be more
than it would need if it appeared on it's own.  Is there any way of
achieving this, other than tweaking each individual case in each
individual part?

That seems to work nicely in moving the tempo markings (with or without
actual metronome marks) away from the stave.  (I've settled on a value
of 2.0)

But it does not seem to increase the clearance between a tempo mark and
a slur or a beam if these are above the top of the stave.  How can I
increase the spacing it these cases?

You probably need to adjust MetronomeMark.padding in the score context rather
than TextScript.padding in the Staff context, thus:
/\override Score.MetronomeMark.padding = #4/

Hi David,

Adjusting the position of tempo indications

2015-01-12 Thread David Sumbler
The default position of tempo indications is, to my eye, rather too
close to whatever is beneath them, be it a stave, a note or a slur.

I have tried experimenting with

\override TextScript #'padding = #4

and

\override TextScript.padding = #4

(I was unsure of the syntax) just to see if I can get my tempo markings
to move, but neither of these works.

How can I get tempo markings to be placed higher?

Also, occasionally I have two such markings quite close together
horizontally.  How can I get them both to be placed at the same level,
even if this means that one of them has more than my default level of
space beneath it?

David
