to an identifier whose name is the same as the name of a keyword. The

Dynamic marks are specified by using an identifier after a note
without a dash: code(c4 \ff). Note that this syntax is inconsistent
with the syntax for other types of ornaments. The available dynamic
-marks are: code(\pppppp), code(\ppppp), code (\pppp), code(\ppp), code(\pp),
-code(\p), code(\mp), code(\mf), code(\f), code(\ff), code(\fff),
-code(\ffff), code(\fffff), code(\ffffff),
-code(\fp), code(sf), code(\sff), code(\sp), code(\spp), (\sfz) and code (\rfz).
+marks are: code(\ppp), code(\pp), code(\p), code(\mp), code(\mf),
+code(\f), code(\ff), code(\fff), code(\fp), code(sf), and code(\sfz).
A crescendo mark is started with code(\cr) and terminated with
code(\rc). A decrescendo mark is started with code(\decr) and
var(dotcount).

dit(code(\tempo) var(duration) = var(perminute)code(;)) Used within
code(\midi) or within music to specify the tempo. For example,
