Have a look in section 8.2.5 of the 2.10 manual. The names have changed
slightly:
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Bass"
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "B"

Anything in the layout block will apply to the whole piece. If you want to use
the directive once, put it immediately before the metronome mark in the music
(untested):
[music]
a b \once \override MetronomeMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 3) \tempo 4=120 c d
[more music]
Hope this helps!
