[Libmusicxml-devel] direction-type words (tempo) to Guido

[Arshia C. <ars...@an...>]

Hello list,

In my attempt to enrich the xml2guido convertor, I’m looking at converting more markups in MusicXML to Guido.

As such, “tempo markups” are currently missing. If I understand correctly they are in the WORDS tag, part of direction_type tag of MusicXML.

For the time being, I’m inserting these strings if they exist, and if their “placement” is “above”, into the TEMPO tag of Guido (and mix them with Metronome if it exists).

Is this the correct recommended way to convert? 
Is there also a way to infer the font attributes of WORDS into Guido’s Tempo tag?

Also, since I’m at it: What would be the correct tag for conversion of WORDS with “placement” = “below”? I’m guessing just TEXT tag in Guido?

Ofcourse, once everything passes tests I’ll push into Github.
