<p>A basic metronome mark is simple to write:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\tempo 4 = 120
c2 d
e4. d8 c2
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../04/lily-4931bc9e.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../04/lily-4931bc9e.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Tempo indications with text can be used instead:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\tempo "Allegretto"
c4 e d c
b4. a16 b c4 r4
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../a1/lily-aacbbd06.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../a1/lily-aacbbd06.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Combining a metronome mark and text will automatically place the
metronome mark within parentheses:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\tempo "Allegro" 4 = 160
g4 c d e
d4 b g2
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../fe/lily-cb6036c3.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../fe/lily-cb6036c3.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In general, the text can be any markup object:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\tempo \markup { \italic Faster } 4 = 132
a8-. r8 b-. r gis-. r a-. r
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../42/lily-dfd3747c.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../42/lily-dfd3747c.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A parenthesized metronome mark with no textual indication may be
written by including an empty string in the input:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\tempo "" 8 = 96
d4 g e c
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../44/lily-5ecff55b.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../44/lily-5ecff55b.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>

<h5 class="subsubheading">Selected Snippets</h5>
<p><em>Printing metronome and rehearsal marks below the staff</em>
<p>By default, metronome and rehearsal marks are printed above the staff.
To place them below the staff simply set the <code>direction</code> property
of <code>MetronomeMark</code> or <code>RehearsalMark</code> appropriately.
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\layout { ragged-right = ##f }
{
% Metronome marks below the staff
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'direction = #DOWN
\tempo 8. = 120
c''1
% Rehearsal marks below the staff
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
\mark \default
c''1
}
</pre>

border="0" src="../a1/lily-7459f848.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<!-- perhaps also an example of how to move it horizontally? -->
<!-- TODO add snippet to LSR -pm -->
<p>To change the tempo in the MIDI output without printing anything,
make the metronome marking invisible
<pre class="example">\once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
</pre>
<!-- TODO add snippet to LSR -pm -->
<p>To print other metronome markings, use these markup commands
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
c4^\markup {
(
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"16." #1
=
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"8" #1
) }
</pre>
