tempoText is fine, but 4=80 is not a string. In 2.19.7, you could do
tempoText = "Text"
tempoUnit = ##{ 4 #}
tempoNumber = 80
{
\tempo \tempoText \tempoUnit = \tempoNumber
a4
}
But this begs the question why you don't just assign the whole tempo
specification to a single variable. Note that ##{ 4 #} is a somewhat
cumbersome shorthand in order to get at a single duration.
