Well, actually there is a bug with MetronomeMark (\tempo) which prevents to align it "the right way" (i.e. left-aligned on time signature for \tempo "text"). See: 684: Enhancement: MetronomeMark should support break-align-symbols http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=684 and the discussion "Tempo mark alignment" http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-05/msg00521.html 2010/1/18 Dmytro O.

I use this while still hoping somebody will fix MetronomeMark. Is has the drawback that you can't use another RehearsalMark (\mark) simultaneously.
