Thanks! Although I thought I pored over the documentation, I must have
missed it...

What I was referring to specifically was the printing of tempi--something
that *is* a part of the music and should be handled by Lilypond, that is, if
Lilypond is a 'music typesetter' (which is what the web site claims)!
Tweaking fonts and things *are* all a part of typesetting music (though
perhaps not as big a part as setting the score). Why shouldn't it be able
to do that tweaking through the \paper block?
BTW, has the ChordNames context been addressed already? Is it a dead issue?
Is someone working on it?
