I think you're looking for the \mark command, which does exactly what you're 
looking for, once in the score and in each part:

<<
    \new Staff \relative c'' { \tempo 4=120 \mark \markup { \hspace #30 "swing" 
} c d e f }
    \new Staff \relative c'' { \tempo 4=120 \mark \markup { \hspace #30 "swing" 
} f e d c }
