Changing the tempo without a metronome mark
To change the tempo in MIDI output without printing anything, make the metronome mark
invisible.
\score {
\new Staff \relative c' {
\tempo 4 = 160
c4 e g b
c4 b d c
\set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t
\tempo 4 = 96
d,4 fis a cis
d4 cis e d

\layout { }

Changing the tuplet number
By default, only the numerator of the tuplet number is printed over the tuplet bracket, i.e., the
denominator of the argument to the \times command. Alternatively, num:den of the tuplet
number may be printed, or the tuplet number may be suppressed altogether.
\relative c'' {
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
\override TupletNumber #'text = #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
\override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
}
