tempo mark in large score for each group

[Jay Hamilton]

I just checked Honegger's score for Jeanne d'Arc and tempo marks are above the top staff and then below for the strings.  I've looked in the manual 2.12 and snippets and I don't see a way to do this.
I tried setting it for the top instrument in each group and that did not work.
Thanks


Yours-
Jay

What about creating a custom RehearsalMarks context, and then adding  
it to your score at the bottom?
It would only have to \consist of a couple of engravers...

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

You would do something like:

\new Staff \with {\consists Rehearsal_mark_engraver}

I can't recall if that is the exact name of the engraver right off.
Of course, that would put all \marks above the given staff.

The attached example must be what you are looking for with some
additions I use (I also put rehearsal marks, volta repeats, text
spanners and bar numbers at StaffGroup level and the line below all
staves has only rehearsal marks and bar numbers).

Best wishes,

Frédéric

You have forgotten plenty of closing >> and your layout block has to
be before the score. Also you have a \clef basso which should be \clef
bass...

Please have a look at the attached modified version.

Some email clients will remove those, so this isn't necessarily
a problem in his original file.

Cheers,

Should not be that as the file was attached, not included in the message.
