If you do this, you'll have to change the \score command to a
markup-list command, since a markup command can only return a single
stencil.  This is problematic, since moving the parser rule will cause
\markup \score to break; OTOH, if we leave the rule in simple_markup,
\markuplines \score won't work, even though the documentation will
list \score as a markup-list command.

I don't think it's enough just to map the stencils: they still need
some degree of baseline-skip, otherwise they'll be stacked as close as
possible.  I think `space-lines' would be the most appropriate way to
keep them positioned nicely (using the existing default for
baseline-skip).
