Continuing my own comment:

This can of course be customized, by adding the corresponding
engraver to the Staff context. A more serious limitation might
be that you cannot simultaneously typeset a \mark both above
and below the system (or stave), in contrast to text scripts
where you easily can do ^"above"_"below". Another problem is
that you cannot easily specify two different marks to appear
at the end of a line and at the beginning of the next line.
