notes in the meter line of the header

[Carl Sorensen]

Isn't this a misuse of the meter line in the heading?  I thought that
meter was used not to show the timing, but rather to show the number of
syllables per line in hymn tunes, e.g. 8:8:8:8.

I think the place to indicate the speed of the piece is with a metronome
mark:

This piece of documentation shows how to get a mark like quarter note =
105.


Hope this helps.
