Just use text markup to typeset whatever you want above the staff. For example, something like \score{ { \mark \markup{ \number 3 \large / \small \note #"4" #1 } \time 3/4 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t c d e } } see the section on "Text" in "Advanced Notation" for more i

Note that LilyPond will only consider breaking score lines where there is a bar line. So, if your manually inserted bar lines are very rare, then you may have to insert some extra invisible bar lines, \bar "", to allow for line breaks. One alternative to Kris' answer is to set all default bar line

Actually, there is a solution available. Since it's possible to include a full score in a Text Markup, I figured it should be possible to let the .ly file contain a single Text markup, which in turn contains a line with the two scores. This is what I came up with, starting from your example: \ver

As far as I can see, the \begin{flushright} doesn't solve anything as long as you let lilypond-book determine the line width of the scores, since they will be rather too long then too short (see my email to bug-lilypond a few minutes ago). However, if you explicitly set the line width of the music
