MCP--thank you for posting the complete list! I'm going to print it, cut it out, and tape it to the top of my metronome so it's handy for reference!

As an update, when we played for the dancers at the Ren Faire, the "dance mistress" gave us the tempo for the music by clapping her hands. Two of the tunes went a shade slower than I had practiced them, one was about the same tempo, and one was significantly, though not unplayably, faster.

AND, I was actually able to keep a simple beat on a hand drum for some other numbers, and not speed up or get off the beat! I've decided metronomes are great tools for training the "rhythm muscles!" (At least for the 'rhythmically challenged' such as I)
