Fwd: \tempo feature requests

[Malte Meyn]

Hi list,

I made a patch for this (only snippet 1008, not yet 574). Because that’s 
not a bugfix but an extension to LilyPond, should this first be 
discussed on this list or on the issue tracker? Or should I upload it 
right now to Rietveld and discuss then?

Cheers,
Malte

Hi list,

could the snippets http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=1008 and
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=574 become part of LilyPond? Maybe 
with all or some of the following additions/changes:

Snippet 1008:
• To make it backwards-compatible don’t change the default sizes; maybe 
introduce a grob property which scales the notes.
• IMO coloring (only) the number is very special and could be omitted.
• Offer three values for tempoShowParentheses: #t, #f and 'if-no-text 
(the latter mimicking the current default behaviour).
• Add ASCII/scheme symbol shorthands for non-ASCII symbols like ≈ and ≙.
