I use \tag to define marks or markups that should appear only above the
first staff of a system, or below the last staff. For instance:

global = {
  \time 4/4
  \key ees \major
  \tag #'up \tempoMark \markup Allegro.
  s1*42
  \tag #'down \fineMark
  \bar "|." \break
  s1*16
  \tag #'down \dacapoMark
  \bar "|."
}

\layout {
    \context { \Score \remove "Mark_engraver"  }
    \context { \Staff \consists "Mark_engraver" }
}

%% lead sheet
\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
      \keepWithTag #'up \global
      \clef treble
      \violino
    >>
    \new Staff <<
      \keepWithTag #'() \global
      \clef alto
      \viola
    >>
    \new Staff <<
      \keepWithTag #'down \global
      \clef bass
      \bassi
    >>
  >>
}

%% the viola part
\score {
  \new Staff <<
      \keepWithTag #'(up down) \global
      \clef alto
      \viola
  >>
}
