You really have two main options here:

1. Add the tempo mark as a markup (TextScript) rather than true tempo marking 
(MetronomeMark). That way, it’s guaranteed just to appear above that one staff. 
[I don’t personally like this option, because it misuses TextScript.]

2. Add all tempo marks in a single global variable, and include them above the 
system *and* above the particular staff in question; then use the \tag system 
to include that one MetronomeMark just above the single staff. [I recommend and 
would use this option, because then all tempo marks in your score are real 
MetronomeMarks.]

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
