Yes, come up with another score marking. Granted, it might get
obsoleted... hopefully the \mpdolce example will be obsoleted in
the next few months. So perhaps this subsection should be
rewritten to show how we would go about adding a new command,
taking an existing one as an example.
But this latter idea is more of a "active LM manager rewriting
stuff" and should be considered in combination with the rest of
the section/chapter/manual. So for now, just find some other
score marking.
Cheers,
