Yes, I did read that in the NEWS file (that is, text annotations for
\tempo).  Still, not as nice syntactically as my suggestion above!

Besides, I'd still like to do something like:

  \tempo "Медленно" 4. = 92-96

Is there any interest in a patch that will allow me to do this?  I
don't mind spending the time necessary to do it if the idea is
agreeable to the project admins.

Yours truly,
