Re: tempoMark - documentation and use

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi,

The \tempoMark example should be completely rewritten to use \tempo  
(i.e., MetronomeMark) instead of overriding RehearsalMark -- e.g.,  
the first entry should read

mpdolce = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:hspace 1 #:translate (cons  
5 0)
  #:line(#:dynamic "mp" #:text #:italic "dolce" )))
\relative c'' {
  \tempo 4=50
  a4.\mpdolce d8 cis4--\glissando a | b4 bes a2
  \tempo \markup { "Poco piu mosso" }
  cis4.\< d8 e4 fis | g8(\! fis)-. e( d)-. cis2
}

If you do this, all the issues you mention will go away... or, at  
least, be transformed into different issues!  ;)

Unfortunately, I've got no time to do a patch now -- I've got a huge  
commission due in a week *and* a new musical opening three days after  
that [!!] -- but hopefully someone will pick up the ball and run with  
it, so that this example doesn't continue to mislead readers.

Cheers,
Kieren.
