I've been too busy to keep up with the lists.  My solution is  
slightly the reverse of this one which is to create simple tempo  
commands to add to any markup used like this (with parentheses):

\markup{ Allegro \mm #"4" #"120" }

or (without parentheses):

\markup( Allegro con moto \MM #"2" #"132" }

The code (without breve's but easily modifiable to include them) is  
in the attachment since I am on my Mac at the moment and I dcn't know  
how to cut and paste from XDarwin to the Mac GUI.

I'll see if I can make the breve mod and create a snippet.
