Maybe something like

\override Score.TextMark.self-alignment-X = #CENTER

would help?

I am not calling lilypond directly from emacs, but a short script which
itself runs:

/usr/local/lilypond/current/bin/lilypond 
--include=/home/torsten/.lilypond/include "${@}"

Re: how to draw lines independent from the notes

For drawing lines independently from notes I do not use Lilypond
directly but postscript. For this purpose I have added a few lines of
code right at the beginning in the definition of bookTitleMarkup like
this (drawing two small horizontal lines in the page margins):

--8<---cut here---start->8---

  bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\column {
   \postscript #"
gsave
initmatrix
1 setlinewidth 0 306 moveto 6 0 rlineto stroke
1 setlinewidth 377 306 moveto 6 0 rlineto stroke
grestore"
   \fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:instrument
...

--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Don't know if it helps in your case, but maybe gives you an idea of how
to proceed.

Have fun
