   I answered this directly to Randy but not to the list (sorry, my mistake).

   I recently got the solution from Mats Bengtsson.


   Solution (I have my tempo in the piano right hand:)

manusdextra = {
   \clef treble
   \key g \minor
   \time 4/4
   \override Score.MetronomeMark #'padding = #'3.0
   \tempo 4=92  %% initial tempo must be in midi-section-command
                %% in order for it to influence the midi-generation.
