Currently, separate components of the `tempo` tag are held in different `<text`
tags, each with a `<tspan` without attributes. This is wasteful, and can make
text ugly. KCC.cropped.svg shows how this fragmentation causes a bad result
(ignoring issue [#3778] with `\override Score.MetronomeMark.vertical-skylines =
#'()`). The text is separated into 5 text blocks, whereas only 2 are necessary
(before/after note).
There are a few issues at play here:
* Attributes such as the font-family and style should be in the `<tspan` tags,
and so the opening parenthesis may be combined in the same text tag. This would
prevent the excessive spacing seen in the example.
* The equal sign is inexplicably unlinked to the metronome marking. I couldn't
find where this goes wrong when reading `scm/translation-functions.scm` for
issue [#4678] as all the components seem to be combined there, and when there
is not a range of beat markings (e.g. "4 = 100", not "4 = 100 - 120"), the
equal sign is combined with the rest.
* The closing parenthesis is also separated from the rest of the metronome
mark, leaving a strange gap as seen, and should be combined with the rest of
the text.
I can't seem to find where the issue is occuring for points 2 & 3, but by
specifying the position of each component (and problems in concatenating them,
the spacing is off and the syntax messier.
Making these changes manually in the example, there were 10 units of space
between the indication and metronome mark, and with an odd cause in Lilypond's
text handling.
