This slides the instrument name to the right and slightly up:

...
      \new Staff ="staff" \with {
        \remove Time_signature_engraver
        \override InstrumentName.X-offset = #-4
        \override InstrumentName.Y-offset = #1
        instrumentName = \markup { \vspace #1.5
          \center-column { \italic "Count:"
                           \vspace #2
                           \line { \italic "Sticking:" }
          }
        }
      }
...

It may seem odd that an X-offset of -4 means "slide it to the
right," but working in conjecture mode again, I presume that the
original value of this instance of InstrumentName.X-offset was a
negative number less than -4, so by comparison, -4 *is* to the
right of the original, calculated X-offset value.  I tried a value
of 0, and that was much too far to the right.
