In the following example, the “rit.” and “Tempo I.” are aligned to the beginning of the measures on the score and the violin part but their horizontal placements on the cello part look somewhat strange.
Hello,
Tempo markings are (correctly) aligned where a first note *would be*. To illustrate this look at your first example with the "Metronome_mark_engraver" in both staves.
violinMusic = \relative c' {
\tempo "Allegro" c4 d e f |
\tempo \markup \italic "rit." g a b c |
\tempo "Tempo I." c b a g |
}
celloMusic = \relative c {
\clef bass
\tempo "Allegro" c4 d e f |
\tempo \markup \italic "rit." R1 |
\tempo "Tempo I." R1
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Metronome_mark_engraver"
\remove "Staff_collecting_engraver"
}
\context {
\Staff
\consists "Metronome_mark_engraver"
}
}
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = Violin
} {
\violinMusic
}
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = Cello
} {
\celloMusic
}
>>
}
Maybe you think the cello part looks strange because the measures with full measure rest are compressed horizontally. Does it look better for you with increased MMR length?
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = Cello
} {
\celloMusic
}
\layout {
\context {
\Voice
\override MultiMeasureRest.minimum-length = #12
