Search the mailing list archives of lilypond-user for "tempo markup" to find some examples of typesetting the metronomization as part of a text markup.
To change the position of the metronome mark, you have to find out what kind layout object in LilyPond is used to typeset it. To do that, you could start from the manual section on Metronome marks: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Metronome-marks.html#Metronome%20marks and follow the links MetronomeChangeEvent -> Metronome_mark_engraver -> MetronomeMark which gives the name of the layout object "MetronomeMark" and a list of the properties that are set by default. To see more properties that can be set, you have to follow the links to the different interfaces. To conclude, you could raise a tempo indication by \override MetronomeMark #'padding = #2.0 for example.
See also the new section on Changing defaults in the manual for version 2.2, for a general background on these issues.

Thank you, I had read the manual before posting. :-)
What I want is the "Adagio" marking and the Tempo marking in one line, or change the position of the \tempo mark manually.
Thank you Thomas
Hello list,
I would like to add a metronome mark to the following: ^\markup \large \bold {\hspace #-4.0 {Adagio}}
to get something like: Adagio (4=108) (4 should be replaced by a note)
I have tried to find out how to move the metronome mark produced by "\tempo 4 = 108" vertically and/or horizontally, but with no success.
It seems you are trying to attach this as some kind of markup to a note. In the manual: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Metronome-marks.html#Metronome%20marks ... it seems that it should be entered as just before the note for which you want to impose this tempo indication, not attached as markup to anything. Click on the image to see the lilycode.
BTW: I would expect the metronome marks to be mentioned in the Tutorial under 'Basic rhythmical commands' and/or 'Time signature' in the tutorial (either directly, or as a link in the "For more information on"). Graphically it may be markup, but musically it is a very basic property and not just some articulation.
I found it now by clicking in the tutorial on 'Adding articulation marks to notes', then on 'For more information on Articulations', then on "Up: expressive marks" and then "metronome marks". So somewhere in that erratic click-trip I jumped from the Tutorial to the Notation Manual. I am surprised that it is grouped under "Expressive marks" there; I would expect it maybe under "Staff notation" (which is also not perfect because in most music the tempo is rather a score-context thing than a staff-context thing).
HTH, David Boersma
Thank you for your help.
