I define these markups:

#(define-markup-command (mm layout props notetype beats) (string? string?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
   (markup 
    #:tiny "(" 
    #:teeny #:raise 0.4 (#:note notetype 1) 
    #:tiny "=" 
    #:tiny beats 
    #:tiny ")" 
  )))

#(define-markup-command (MM layout props notetype beats) (string? string?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
   (markup 
    #:tiny #:raise 0.4 (#:note notetype 1) 
    #:tiny "=" 
    #:tiny beats 
  )))

and include one or the other of them in my tempo markup:

\tempo \markup\bold{ Moderato, \MM #"4" #"112" }  %no parens

\tempo \markup\bold{ Moderato, \mm #"4" #"112" }  %with parens

These have worked for the last several development versions which 
means it will work with 2.18
