I use the attached file for this purpose, which is based on code that
Kieran MacMillan gave me. Here's an example usage:
\include "scoremarks.ly"
% Put your score markings here, rather than in the instrument
% parts.
global = {
\tempo "Allegro" 4 = 120
s1*16
\mark "A"
s1*16
\tempo "Largo" 4 = 45
s1*16
\mark "B"
s1*32
... % etc.
}
\score {
<<
% Basically, place ScoreMarks wherever you want
% the markings to appear in the score.
\new ScoreMarks { \global }
\new StaffGroup <<
% wind section music goes here
>>
\new StaffGroup <<
% brass section music goes here
>>
\new ScoreMarks { \global }
\new StaffGroup <<
% string section music goes here
>>
>>
\layout {}
}

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he
said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as
Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language
wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the
room piped up, "Yeah, yeah."
