Does anyone use it ? If not, it may be worth removing, as it is quite
buggy (and also not very well specified, making it hard to fix, not
knowing exactly how it should actually work), and does complicate event
handling in many places.

OK, so unfortunately it should stay.

The score is sorted before the beginning of performance, so you cannot
change the tempo later. Or do you mean the score equivalent of the orchestra
opcodes that set tempo in "beat mode" ? You can probably already do that
with a simple instrument (not tested):

instr 100
p3 = 0
tempo p4, p4
endin

...

; sets tempo to 120 at time 0
i 100 0 0 120

Note that a note is expected to know its duration in seconds (p3) at
initialization time. This is not possible if the time warping is only
done at performance time (as the duration of the note may very well
change with the tempo while it is already playing); one of the reasons
I wanted to remove "beat mode" is that it is impossible to implement
correctly, for - among others - the above problem.
