Re: Horizontal positioning of a tempo marking on a full-measure rest

[Jun Tamura]

Hello,

After writing the message below, I realized that the “rit.” and “Tempo I.” on 
the cello part were aligned to where ordinary whole rests would be placed.I 
guess that if I can find a way to change the placement of a whole rest closer 
to the beginning of the measure, that would also change the position of the 
tempo markings.  Am I correct?

Best regards,

Jun
