You really have two main options here: 1. Add the tempo mark as a markup (TextScript) rather than true tempo marking (MetronomeMark). That way, it’s guaranteed just to appear above that one staff. [I don’t personally like this option, because it misuses TextScript.] 2. Add all tempo marks in a single global variable, and include them above the system *and* above the particular staff in question; then use the \tag system to include that one MetronomeMark just above the single staff. [I recommend and would use this option, because then all tempo marks in your score are real MetronomeMarks.] Hope that helps!
