Try:

   \tempo\markup\normal-text\concat {
      \bold "Moderto" \hspace #.8
      "(" \hspace #.1 \raise #.5 \smaller\note #"4" #1 \hspace #.5
      "=" \hspace #.3 "84" \hspace #.1 ")"
    }
    \set Score.tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 84/4) %% if needed
for the mid output

    \tweak self-alignment-X #LEFT
    \mark \markup\fontsize #-1 "strike"
