tempo equation with metronome marking

Dorico
1

I would like to have tempo changes that indicate both a metric modulation (say dotted eighth = quarter) and the resulting metronome marking (say quarter = 144). Ultimately, I’d like to have both in a single equation (dotted-eighth = quarter = 144), but I would settle for having both tempo indications at the same location. However, I can’t seem to do this in Dorico, which only displays one or the other. Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Cliff

No, you’re not missing anything. You can’t add those three as a single expression.

You could add the tempo mark at the downbeat, and the metrical modulation a beat later, then manually drag it over in Engrave mode.

Thanks! I’ll go with your suggestion.

I haven’t seen many of those but was looking for the same result.
I hope the Dorico team will consider it for a future update.
Here is an example from Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity by Holst.
