Hello David,
I attach a file which should do what you want, and add some comments below:

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a text formatting
challenge I've been unable to solve.
The format I like to use for header markup (for pages after page 1) is
to have the page number centered with em dashes around it, and then
split the title, with half on the left and half on the right.
The following code is what I am using, but I am not very happy with it.
The issues I'd like to solve are:
o How do I get the left/right sides of the title to right/left align
next to the page number? I am doing it with literal spaces, but this
is very unsatisfactory.
If you use \fill-line with three markups in its argument, the first is
flush-left, the second is centered (at least approximately), and the
third is flush-right.
So use the poet as one markup, the whole split-title-and-page-number
complex as one second markup (by enclosing it in \line), and the
composer as third argument.
o How do I get an actual em dash rather than use "--"? I know that
the code is \char ##x2014, but I cannot figure out how to use that in
this header \on-the-fly context.
It’s easier anyway if you apply \on-the-fly to the entire markup as I
did in the attached essay. And \char ##x2014 is inserted in precisely
the same way as any other markup string.
o Is there a way to encapsulate this in a function, so I can just
say something like:
\setSplitTitle "Example: Split" "Centered Title"
See
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/extending/new-markup-command-definition>.
If you want a command which does not need to be wrapped into \markup {},
use #(define-scheme-function ), which should also be explained in the
Extending Manual.
HTH,
Simon
