Re: problem showing tempo

I feel it very counter-intuitive.

You create a simple score - get a PDF. Add a simple MIDI block - you 
lose the PDF. Why?
Let's suppose the new user wants a way to create a MIDI. He looks at the 
doc, and sees: To create a MIDI from a music piece of music, add a 
|\midi| block to a score... He will not think that there is such a 
serious side effect of creating midi output.
