If you replace "Staff" with "Voice" in the above then the change only 
occurs in the current voice and not in the entire staff.
In this case this would be enough to achieve what you want because when 
you have

>         \context Staff <
>                 \markings
>                 \violin
>         >

then markings and violin automatically will be created in different voices.
If you would like to have control over which voices is created then you 
could manually instantiate different voices, like this:


        \context Staff <
            \context Voice = markings \markings
            \context Voice = violin \violin
        >
