Complex Metronome Marking

If you don’t have the MusGlyphs font, here is an alternative. Quite fiddly to do, but it is possible.

It is done as text, using a mixture of normal text and music text with quite a lot of changing the point size of characters, font stretch, baseline shift and letter spacing. If you want to set the tempo to actually be what is shown, you will need to work what that equates to using a single note value (my guess is 8th-note = 420), enter a “real” metronome mark and then hide it by unchecking “Metronome mark shown” in Properties.
