I've just started using LilyPond, never having typeset music

getting on quite well, but there are three things I'm really stuck
on - I
have tried to search on here and on other sites, but seem to have a
problem
in that some of the links given don't work on my computer! So I
apologise in
advance if these are really obvious questions, and hope you don't
mind me
asking.
1. How can I get a fermata sign over a rest? I've tried all the
permutations
I can think of but with no luck!
r4\fermata will put a fermata over a quarter rest.
2. I can get tempo indications like Allegro, Andante etc printed
up, but
when tempo changes occur in the course of a piece, they seem to
come up
about half-a-bar before they should. I set the \mark\markup for
just before
the first note of the new section, so I can't see why it comes up
earlier.
\mark is specifically located over a bar line.
Also, how can I reduce the font a bit? I'd prefer the words to be a
bit
smaller.
Words or lyrics? For words like solo and tutti use \markup\small{
3. How do I indicate 'solo' and 'tutti' ?
^\markup\small{ solo } following a note.
HTH,
Paul Scott
