In older versions of lilypond, text-only tempo indications were not possible, 
thus the advise to use \markup. However, since version 2.12 one can also add 
text to \tempo marks, so now one should always use \tempo instead.

In many cases, \tempo "rall." and \tempo "a tempo" will suffice. However, if 
you want to change the appearance of the text, you'll have to use an explicit 
\tempo \markup { ..... "rall." }

And if you also want to adjust midi speed, then you need to do some more 
advanced tweaking...

Cheers,
Reinhold
