depends. If it is fixed part of a playback program it is a bad thing (as I read is what happens in one program with the R:fields playback information). If it is some default that can be changed by the user within the playback program it is not. And definitely it should *not* be part of the abc format standard, since for some musicans using textual tempo indicators is to *avoid* metronome numbers to sugest that it depends on the circumstances of a performance which tempo is the right one.
