It won't work if you already is using \mark for rehearsal marks. The naive solution: \mark #22 \mark "Echo Dance of Furies" doesn't work. I would be nice if I could define a few staffs as a group, and be able to assosiate/align something with the top visible staff of that group, whichever staff it is (or the lowest). (Or be able to align it to the nearest bar line, start/end of staff.) Something in my thinking is \mark, \markup, volta brackets, extressive marks and bar numbers.
