Aligning relative to page

I was wondering what kind of contexts of control I have over \markup stuff outside \score stuff. Specifically, this is what I would like to accomplish.
 
\version "2.10.25"
\score {
    \new Voice \relative c'' {
        g4 g g a |
        c b a g |
        e d e g |
        e1
    }
}
\markup {
    \column {
        \italic "segue to"
        "Something Else"
    }
}
 
Now, it would be nicer for the segue markup to be right-aligned to the page, so I tried changing the markup to this:
 
\markup {
    \column {
        \right-align \italic "segue to"
        \right-align "Something Else"
    }
}
 
But the result was unexpected:
 
|----|----|----|----|
to
se
 
In short (pardon the pun), it was right-aligned against its own origin. (Or something like that.)
 
I would like to achieve something like this:
 
|----|----|----|----|
       segue to
       Something Else
 
Now I know that you can probably use markup--something like \translate or \translate-scaled, or even an \override of the extra-offset property to achieve something like this. But what if the pages had different sizes? Then the markup wouldn't be the flush right for all the pages.
 
I guess my real question is, is there a some context where I can position markup outside a score relative to the page itself?
 
Thanks in advance.
