What are the issues with Neil's patch? I've been playing around with
it and it seems to do what I want. Well, it's a similar patch really
(see attached).

Neil's comment from Issue 684: "The stumbling block is how to align to
note columns; I can't work out how the metronome marks get attached to
a paper column when there's no breakable object nearby."

How often is a situation like this encountered (not that I really
understand what it means)? The most common usage (tempo mark on the
bar) works fine. Perhaps if it can't be worked out we could create a
patch that works in 99% of cases and leave an enhancement open to work
on the other cases later.

Thanks for the help. (Also sorry about starting another one of "those"
threads. That was not my intention.)
