Re: default MetronomeMark #padding

[Stephen]

I forgot about 'extra-offset', thanks. I already found MetronomeMark, in the 
program reference, but the link to it should be there. I even experimented 
with changing the font size through the font-interface, verifying that the 
interfaces that the object supports can be used with the object. I need to 
remember that 'extra-offset' works with every grob. I even got 'text' from 
the text-interface to not create errors, but it does not affect anything.
