Re: lilypond ChangeLog Documentation/user/examples....

[Mats Bengtsson]

Note that it's a severe limitation if the MIDI tempo can only be set in 
the \midi{...} block, since then you cannot change the tempo on the 
middle of a piece. Previously, the MIDI tempo has
been taken both from settings in the \midi block as well as from
all \tempo commands throughout the piece (even though the generated
MIDI code doesn't work well with all MIDI interpreters). Based on the 
syntax of the new construct, it seems that it's still
possible to change the tempo in the middle of a score, but I haven't
looked under the hood or tried any example to verify if it really works.
