Subject: Re: default MetronomeMark #padding
The chapter describes the general mechanisms for setting properties. In particular, the section called "Common Tweaks" describes a property called extra-offset that can be used to move things around.
Even if you use an older version of LilyPond, I can recommend to take a look at the manual for version 2.5, since this section has been updated and improved recently and most of the facts are true also for version 2.4 and even for 2.2.
The manual cannot possibly describe every conceivable setting that can be done, but the information in "Common Tweaks" together with "Constructing a Tweak" and "Navigating the program reference" should hopefully describe the general mechanisms well enough that you will be able to find the solution to your particular needs yourself. In this case, I happened to notice that the section on Metronome marks misses the relevant link to the program reference: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/MetronomeMark.html#MetronomeMark (Graham, I will fix it in CVS).

Is there a way to shift the metronome mark to the left? If so, how? If not, then this is a feature request. There.
Is this for a one-time project, or in general?
For a one-time use, please read the "Changing Defaults" chapter.
In general, I thing this is a bad idea. It might look nice for the initial tempo marking,
but any tempo markings in the middle of a piece would look odd.
