tempoMark - documentation and use

[Anthony W. Youngman]

I've got a problem with this ...

I don't know if it's been dealt with in the documentation but in the 
2.12.2 manual section 4.3 (and 12.1.2), this function still uses 
no-spacing-rods, which 2.12 doesn't support. I was advised to use 
extra-spacing-width so I'm not affected, but anyone who copies the 
documentation will get caught.

And I'm having a problem using it. It over-rides rehearsal.mark, but 
tempo declarations typically occur at rehearsal marks! So clashing marks 
means my tempo declarations get thrown away!

I tried creating a copy of tempoMark and adding a "\default" to it, but 
it didn't like it ... reading the manual I guess both "\default" and 
"\markup" return stencils, but \markup doesn't like being passed a 
stencil :-)

So - is there a function that combines stencils? Or where can I find the 
code for \default (I did look ...) so I can try and write a defaultPlus 
function that takes a string argument ... I found the LSR example that 
combines the rehearsal mark with segnos, codas etc but that looks an 
awful palaver...

Cheers,
Wol
