What is the proper tag name for tempo indications/directions/instructions?

I'm writing because of the question What's the difference between "con brio" and "con fuoco"?.

The tags "conbrio" and "confuoco" (which should be "con-brio" and "con-fuoco") are almost certainly too specific. I do not see a tag for tempo indications or directions. There is a "tempo" tag, but "con brio" and "con fuoco" are more precisely thought of as instructions about a piece's affect or character than its tempo.

I'm therefore soliciting suggestions for a tag name to encompass the directions that appear at the beginning of a musical score, which normally but not always specify the speed of the piece.

In the absence of a better suggestion, I will probably retag the question with "tempo-indication."
