In fact I'm transcribing a jazz song for classical musicians. There are
tempo changes and also a passage without swing.
So I prefer to stay relatively accurate in the indications and avoid any
confusion.

Well you *can* do that (and I've seen it done that way), but often - the music
being improvised anyway - you don't really have a tempo indication, except for
Swing, Med. Swing, Uptempo Swing, Ballad etc., and those are just suggestions
or show how the piece was played in a referenced recording.
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.

Yes that's it!
Thanks!

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