I had considered this idea, but forgotten that you can have full score 
blocks inside markups, and that instrument names could be full markups. 
With your example, it all came back to me, and so far it works fine. 
I'll have to manually tweak the indents to get each one correct, so it's 
not completely automatic, but I think this approach should suffice, 
since the prefaces are all short and simple. For the curious who come 
after me, I've attached a rework of my previous example in the new style 
showing what this looks like.

Thanks!
