I usually use the piece text in the header (which works nice but in most scores I know the tempo instruction is set above the bar not flushed to the left and is in bold letters), but what if one needs to insert a tempo instruction in the middle of the piece. There are of course the tempo markers, but I need the "text version" for this. Would be nice if there would be a command like \tempo 4=140 "Allegro vivace" which would result in just the text being printed in the score but the numbers used for the midi file.
So far, there is no automated support for this combination, but you can easily get the printed output using \markup, as described in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-12/msg00013.html
I've set a couple of orchestral scores with exactly that problem - I ended up creating an extra part that was something like:timing = \notes { s1\markup {Legato} \repeat unfold N {s1} s1\markup {Allegro vivace} }where the N is padding to fit in with the other parts. The good thing about doing it this way is that you can do something like:
Instead of the repeat, you could simply do (if N=24, say) s1*24 or \skip 1*24 /Mats
