Read Documentation/MANIFESTO.x, it's all there.

Well, we're not there yet, obviously.  Especially tempo, dynamics 
and certain repeats (Capo/Coda/Fine) are/can only be kludged, which 
worries me a lot more than the settings in the paper block.  If you 
actually want to print the music, you'll need to define certain 
things.  Most of these commands are well separated from the 'musical 
content' definition?

Sounds good.  Do you want to work on that?
