There is actually not so much variety. There is one alternative. I
omitted the \italic, because right now it is italic by default.

But my suggestion for the text is:

\markup \bold \italic \concat {
  \bold "8" \fontsize #-2 \translate-scaled #'(0 . 0.85) "va"
}

and similar for 15ma and 22ma and

\markup \bold \italic \concat {
  "8" \fontsize #-2 "vb"
}

and similar for 15mb and 22mb.

And for the lines, like Gould says: top aligned for alta and bottom
aligned for bassa.

Is it clearer now?
