Ok. For somebody: default equals not shown?

Both stable and dev-cvs printed the warnings. Only dev-cvs had errors in
the paper. IMO, \tempo -marks in \midi{...} should be applied first and
further \tempo -marks in \notes{...} would then override the prior
midi-settings.

An interesting feature is that currently it is possible to apply different
\tempo for each channel (parallel notes-section). That allows also for
aleatoric music; "Let's meet at fermata!"
