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. That's, if we're talking about a lead sheet - look into a "Real Book" for examples.
If it's orchestral music (eg Big Band), the score probably contains more exact tempo values (which my Big Band conductor usually ignores ...).

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.

\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
