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.
I'll make a patch for this today and submit to Trevor.
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.
