I don't know much about jazz. It's not the kind of music I'm usually
typesetting.
I never saw a jazz lead sheet with swing written followed by the
metronome mark between brackets. If it's the policy, I can adopt it. But
I'm curious to see some examples of it.

If you're producing a jazz lead sheet (as the "swing" indicates),
you're wrong.
\tempo "Swing" 4=125
Merely indicates that the *style* is Swing while the tempo is 125. You
could also write
\tempo "Swing" 4=200
Which would indicate that this is a swing piece of tempo 200.
Jazz tempo indications don't work like classical ones where a tempo
name also implies a certain (narrow) range of bpm.

That's not exactly what I want.
"\tempo "Swing" 4=125" seems to mean "the tempo is Swing which
correspond to 4=125". Whereas what I want is 2 different independent
indications. The same result but without the parenthesis for example.
Maybe the \tempo command is not the command to use in this case. But
I didn't find another way to have an indication once in the score and
in each part.

Hi Anton,
Can't you do:
\tempo "Swing" 4=125
Or is that not what you are looking for?

Hi everyone!
I'd like to put an indication displayed in all the parts but
only once
in the score, like a tempo mark.
I found this syntax:
\tempo \markup { "swing" }
But at the same place in the score, I already have a \tempo command:
\tempo 4=125
\tempo \markup { "swing" }
c
And Lilypond ignore the second.
What do I have to do to display both indications?
Thanks
Anton Curl
