I guess I haven't figured the two indicators out correctly...
\score {

  \tempo \markup { \bold "Lento Lontano, e molto legato"}

  \mark \markup { "Chorale-like" }


places "Chorale-like" above the tempo indicator, and aligns with the edge
of the staff.

What I haven't found is getting the Chorale-like line under and aligned
with Lento lontano, as follows


*Lento Lontano, e molto legato*

*Chorale-like*

I think I found it:

  \tempo \markup \column { \bold "Lento Lontano, e molto legato"
"Chorale-like"}

is producing the desired output
