I'm not completely sure what you want to achieve,
I have the notes in the PDF version that I referred in my original mail.
These are scans of a older edition with a poor readability. Especially
some chords are hard to read, e.g. at page 7 are accidentals that need
time to identify. Or even the multi-measure count in the first measure
is not clear. And I don't have the time neither in rehearsal nor in
concert. So I decided to write the harp part in Lilypond because of the
good readability.
There are some good layout details in the notes that I want to retain:
- The multi-measure rest count should be in the middle of two staves
since these are notes for one instruments.
- The measure counter should make the counting easier.
- Cue voices should help to find the right moment to start playing.
- The layout should be compact. Tacet movements should occupy as less
space as possible.
Further I thought, when I found a construct that formats the "movement
name" in a consistent manner, I should be usable to use for this tacet
thing. I played with the top level \markup, but missed the
\center-column with corresponding poor results.
With your workaround I get a better visual structure of the movements as
you can see here: http://pastebin.com/UdexhJ8R.[1] It could be improved
by a format that is defined once for all "movement names". But it just
produces a much better score than the original scan. There are still
some warnings with cross staff beams. But probably I will find a workaround

[1] I will add the header markups you proposed.
