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. > etc., or at least in section 2.1.

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.
