Thanks, and I agree. The nuisance is that you have to count all the silent bars where there aren't any tempo changes, which is far less convenient than simply adding a \tempo "Allegro" at the relevant place in the score! I always miscount by at least 1. As this particular score has only 6 such markings, but quite a few time signature changes it's easier to use Hwaen Ch'uqi's solution. Or is there a way of moving to a particular bar number without all the counting? That would be difficult if there are \set Score.currentBarNumber commands to cope with as well.
