Metronome marks with more options
If you need, in metronome marks:
- change the default
=sign to other symbol, you can use the propertytempoEquationText. - change the default
-sign between tempo values (e.g. 100-120) to, say, 100~120, you can use the propertytempoBetweenText. - hide the default parenthesis in metronome marks, you can set the property
tempoHideParenthesisastrue. - change the color of the tempo value, you can use the property
tempoNumberColor.
This snippet also changes the size of metronome marks:
- the text (e.g., Allegro) is a bit larger than the default of LilyPond.
- the note (e.g., ♪) is a bit smaller than the default of LilyPond.
IMPORTANT:
This snippet is based on a snippet by Arnold Theresius. The original snippet create a formatter called format-metronome-markup-approx, and the default value to tempoEquationText in that snippet is "≈". I changed back this default to LilyPond default, and added the tempoBetweenText property. Also, I changed the sizing of some elements, as described above.
Arnold's original code is available in snippet Tempo (metronome) marks with approximation sign.
