Hmm... If the goal is simply to have staff lines with the markup, why 
not use \overlay?

Here are the relevant bits, excerpted from the attached file:

%%%%
  scoreTitleMarkup = \markup \overlay {
    \lower #1 \fontsize #2 \fill-line {
      \rotate #5 \concat {
        \hspace #1 "(" \fromproperty #'header:instruction ")"
      }
      \scale #'(1 . 1.618) \underline \fontsize #3
        \fromproperty #'header:title
      \concat {
        \char ##x2013 " " \fromproperty #'header:composer \hspace #1
      }
    }
    \score {
      \new Staff \with { \omit Clef \omit TimeSignature } { s }
      \layout { indent = 0 ragged-right = ##f }
    }
  }
%%%%
