Nick, I've been using: tpoMidi = #(define-music-function (parser location bUnit rayt) (number? number?) #{ \once \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t \set Score.tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment $rayt $bUnit) #} ) Perhaps you just need to use the ...tempoHideNote... instead of spiking the MetronomeMark. This function is very limited and won't deal with dotted values, but I can figure out the undotted rate 1000s of times faster than writing the necessary code, so there it sits. I have no provenance on this code; I suspect it came from this forum.
