I repeat: "You can use that inside of a \score markup if necessary".

\header {
  composer = "myself"
  title = "Hark"
}

\score {
  \header {
    piece = \markup \score {
      \new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #1
                         \omit Clef
                         \omit KeySignature
                         \omit TimeSignature
                         \omit LedgerLineSpanner
                         \omit BarLine
                         instrumentName = \markup \column { Gtr Bas }
                       }
      << { \stemUp r4 r r d'' } \\ { \stemDown g'4 r8 g' g'4 r } >>
      \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 14) }
    }
    composer = "myself"
  }
  <<
    \chords { c1 }
    \new Staff { c'1 }
    \addlyrics { Om. }

}
