I'm using 2.8.1-1. This is what I tried....
(this yields an error)
verseonemelody = \relative c {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 6/8
r4.\markup { "Verse 1" } r4 e'8 g4.~ g8 f8 d8 e16 g16~ g4~ g4
(this puts the markup inline with the text)
verseonelyrics = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "1. " {
\markup { "Verse 1" }
Our Sav -- ior has ris -- en.
I was able at one point, though I do not know how, to get the markup to
appear between the staves and the chord line, but I can't seem to reproduce
that behavior. I'm very confused about where the \markup keyword is
appropriate.
Thanks,
bryan

It's much easier to answer your question if you include a small
but complete example of what you tried. Also, please always
tell what LilyPond version you use.
