Hi James,
I mainly thought the tempo command was too hard to find in the
documentation--too illogically placed for me to track down easily
navigating the notation reference headings (just tried it in the
2.13 doc's, had similar problems before with 2.12 doc's) and I
actually couldn't find the command at all in the learning manual
in a couple minutes of clicking around the section headings.
(Admittedly, in the index it is easy to find.)
My suggestion is to include the \tempo "Allegro" 4=160 type
command in the Rhythms section of the Learning Manual, since tempo
is fundamental to rhythm, and I didn't find it anywhere else in
the learning manual; I'd even put it as early as 1.2.1, along with
Clef, Time Signature,
I agree. A simple example could be included in the same brief
style as the others between Time Signature and Clef in 1.2.1.
This would be easy to do.
etc., or at least in section 2.1. And, I'd also suggest it be put
somewhere more logical in the Notation Reference as well, since
its current location Under Staff Notation->Writing Parts is among
the last places I'd think to look to find tempo commands; maybe in
section 1.2.3, Displaying Rhythms, alongside Time Signature etc.
I agree with this too. The Metronome marks section would be
better placed in 1.2.3 immediately after Time signature, but
the move would require some juggling with a number of snippets.
There are higher priority doc items, though.
