Where in the world is Carmen Sandi... oops, wrong example.

If "the \tempoMark" exaple is in the NR, then Jonathan should
figure out what you're talking about and prepare the patch.

If "the \tempoMark" example is in the LM... then hey, this is
simple enough, Jonathan should still prepare a patch.  Unless it'd
destroy the continuity of the LM or something, in which case he
should consult with Trevor.

I can do a patch for this. Give me a day or two. Grades are due for all of my classes and of course it's Mother's Day so I'm trying not to huddle behind the laptop too much. The wife won't like that. ;)

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.
