I do it like this

movement =
#(define-music-function (mvt) (string?)
#{
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(left-edge)
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.Y-offset = 7
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.font-size = 3
  \mark \markup #mvt
#}
)

{
  \movement "Finale"
  c'4 e'4 g'4 c''4 |
}
