I tried that, as shown below, but it still will not move the metronome 
mark up 2 spaces.
----
\score {
  \notes
  \relative c''
  {
  \set Score.skipBars = ##t
  \override Staff.MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
  \time 2/2
  \tempo 2=102 \override Staff.MetronomeMark #'padding = #2.0
  \clef treble
  \key d \major
  R1*16
  r4 fsharp( g gsharp
----
The original info I found in the archives, and did a copy paste from a 
message found there. Maybe it was for an earlier version.
