With your amended patch, it's no longer possible to align tempo marks
to note columns; they behave just like rehearsal marks.

Adding the context property to switch between the two alignments was a
quick hack with a serious limitation: if set to align with note
columns, tempo marks disappear completely when attached to
multi-measure rests.

A proper solution should be able to determine automatically when to
attach the tempo mark to prefatory material (favouring time
signatures) or note columns.
