I guess I wasn't clear enough. Or maybe that's the only way?
Can I set a variable that makes allegro=\tempo 8. = 120? Or as a feature request. Include tempo names and a way to describe them in midi tempos. I realize not everyone cares about midi or even hearing the sounds. But I am required to 'play' my notation for others as part of the proof reading for my project.
