BINGO!

Not perfect, but it looks a lot better. Dunno why, but I thought 
\markLengthOn affected rehearsal marks. It doesn't, it affects tempo 
marks, and it does exactly what I want, moving them out of the way so 
they don't collide with rehearsal marks! :-) :-) Even better, my tune 
names are aligned on the tempo marks! :-)

I still want some way of making rehearsal marks push notes sideways out 
of the way, as it looks naff and can waste space, but it's much better.

The only thing now is outside-staff-priority doesn't move stuff if 
there's no collision :-) I've told it to put the tune above the tempo, 
but the tempo has been pushed up by an MMR count, and because that's 
left enough space underneath for the tune, it's put it there :-)
