If I use, say, \easyHeadsOn or \aikenHeads in the main music, I
definitely don't want this to also occur in the tempo indication,
it would just make no sense. That is the reason why \rhythm
is intentionally not influenced by the main music or the usual
forms of a \layout block, but has its own places to define customizations,
the body of the \rhythm argument and the StandaloneRhythm...
contexts in \layout.

The difference between \note and \rhythm is a bit more arbitrary:
\note is the historical command while \rhythm is new in 2.24
and more flexible. Arguably, it would make sense for \tempo
to internally use \rhythm so that changing properties in StandaloneRhythm...
would affect it.
