Two different types of immediate metronome indications?

Dorico

Some really crazy requests from a publisher! I need to find a way to have two separate sizes of metronome texts; one bigger when it’s just "quarter = 66), and also a smaller size when it’s "Allegro quarter = 120). They want the “120” to be smaller (don’t ask!!) .

I see I can create another Font style, but it seems I can’t choose which one to use when creating a metronome marking. Am I missing something?

I’m thing that for the 2nd type I could creat a System text object. Would that work? How would I het the “quarter note” symbol in there?

Many thanks !!

You’d need to do one of these using System Text. As of Dorico 4 when typing staff text or system text you can right click and Insert Music Symbol.
