Multi-line tempo marking?

Is this possible? I’ve tried copy and pasting a newline character in, but no bueno.

No. You’d need to enter it as system text.

This would be a great feature for a future patch. It would help a lot – not only in full scores on occasion certainly, as there is precedent for this in many editions older and newer – but especially in parts, where I’m finding many wordy tempo indications cutting off the pages inconveniently. In my current project, I’m looking at things like “Mehr und mehr langsamer werdend” and “immer ziemlich ruhiger werdend” following one another in short succession and sweating with figuring out my staff spacing, and where all the horizontal space suddenly went.

Something like this mockup that I just made, on the UI side…
