Re: Misaligned tempo indications

[Carl Sorensen]

Change

 

\new Voice = “vocals”

 

To

 

\new Staff = “vocals”

 

 

The Voice exists inside a Staff.

 

Your metronome mark in the vocals was aligned with the beginning of the Voice, not the beginning of the Staff.

 

Your metronome mark in the PianoStaff aligned with the beginning of the Staff.

 

HTH,
