I can never remember the overrides, so I defined the set to space marks as
 \markLengthOn
and got it into LilyPond versions 2.17.19 and later.

Is there some good reason why this is not the default, with \markLengthOff as 
the “tweak”?


Probably it could be, but when a user reported that an empty tempo mark in his 
score affected page breaking (but not final layout) I got conservative.

For reasons I could never figure out

MetronomeMark uses a different interface than the rehearsal marks and bar 
numbers.

I’ve asked Janek if he might consider this as a sponsored fix.  =)

Good.  It might best be done by reading the request of an earlier sponsored fix 
(issue 684) and checking if everything requested for MetronomeMark could be 
handled by the documented 'break-align' interface that RehearsalMark uses (with 
different default settings, of course). By my reading, the old interface will 
be fine; Daniel Rosen's request on this thread would be handled by putting 
'staff-bar' on the list of preferred alignment points for tempo marks.  The 
special-case handling of measures with any full-measure rest (in any Voice in 
any Staff) seems to have been based on misunderstandings.
