Do you mean:
\version "2.12.3"
music = \relative c' { c d e f g f e d c1 }
markups = { s1^\markup \italic { with salmon } s2 s^\markup \italic { without
salmon } }
dynamics = { s1\mf\< s\> s\sfz }
keysig = { \key e \minor }
timesig = { \time 4/4 s1 \time 2/2 s1 \time 8/8 s1 \bar "||" }
{ \new Staff << \music \markups \dynamics \keysig \timesig >> }
I do this all the time. And I find it really useful.
