I have a full score and am creating parts. In the parts, I would like 
to have markup "verse 1", etc. Is there any way to do that without 
modifying music variables?



Yes, but to get there you'd have to be more explicit about what you 
actually want.





I have \versetwomusic ^"Verse 2"  but lilypond says, "Unexpected 
token, ^".



This tries to attach a markup to a (complete) music expression, which is 
not possible. A markup can either be attached to a musical element (a 
note/rest) or defined as a top-level item between scores.


If you only want to state "Verse 2" as a sort of heading for that part 
you could do


\markup "Verse 2"

\versetwomusic

with arbitrarily complex arrangements.

Anything else will also be possible, but only when knowing what you're 
really after.

So I'll need to put my markup *inside* \versetwomusic ? That means 
it will be in the score and in the parts which is undesirable.


What is the best way to deal with this situation? I guess what would 
be great is if I could put markup in the part like ^\markup{ 
\for"part"  "Verse 1 }  and somehow only show that markup in the part.
