Hi Daniel,

some trickery:
adding a markup to the spacer-rest
readjusting space after TimeSignature
seems to do it.


\version "2.16.0"

disIncip = \markup {
  \score { \new Staff
    {
      \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \right-column { Discantus [Tenor] }
      \override Staff.InstrumentName #'padding = #1
      \override Staff.InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #1
      \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'neomensural
      \clef "petrucci-c3"
      \time 2/2
      \key g \minor

       \once \override Score.TimeSignature #'space-alist =
         #'((staff-bar extra-space . 1.1)
            (cue-clef extra-space . 0.5)
            (ambitus extra-space . 1.0)
            (right-edge extra-space . 0.5)
            (first-note fixed-space . -1)) % <=====

      s8^""  % <====
    }
    \layout {
      indent = 0
      line-width = 100
    }
  }
}

\new ChoirStaff \with { \override SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #0 } {
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = \disIncip
    \override InstrumentName #'padding = #2
    \override InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #1
  } { c''1 }
}
\layout {
  indent = 5\cm
}
