I didn't have time to look it up yesterday, but this is the bit of the

You need to study the markup commands available

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/text-markup-commands

and in this case:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/music


In particular the \note-by-number markup command

\note-by-number #2 #0 #UP 

is your (quarter-note). Note you *must* have a space after #UP else it
will not typeset!

\note-by-number #2 #0 #UP = 120 bpm

is an example - place this in the Multi-line text and music editor and
you get a metronome mark as markup.
