Actually I've done that myself, not necessarily for the kind of music you have but using a markup is a nice way of doing things and not as 'high maintenance' as you'd think. I took a stage further and made the staff/notes/cleff etc I was attaching it to have its engravers removed or transparent, which left the \score 'markups' hanging as it were, in space but it suited my needs. As I don't 'scheme' it means I can maintain this or modify it to suit my needs even if it does 'slightly complicate the construction. The only thing to remember (and I have never understood why but was told to and it works) is that you must have a \layout {} even if that construct is 'empty' within your \score that you are creating your markup from.
