Yes so if you don't want to have to type out a complete score just for 
the piece you want to quote, what I do is to add multiple full bar rests 
to the music you want to cue.

So if you had 20 bars of 4/4 music before you wanted to quote you could 
just insert R1*20 into the

oboe = \relative c'' {
R1*20 | b2 (d)
 }

Then this would quote 'b2 (d)' on the 21st bar of your main music.

However, I have found that if the quote is #UP then slurs and the like 
are also 'up' (like \SlurUp) and I have not found any way to make them 
'down'.

So if someone else can answer this I'd appreciate it. :)
