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 |
}
