I recently typeset a piece like this - it required a lot of manual trickery,
but it is doable if you use a top-level markup and the \fill-line command. A
recent command was also added by David N. that helps with this (see
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3860).
It is not automated, so it is a pain, but it comes out looking very nice - you
just have to manually do new markups for new pages.
Cheers,
MS
