The issue here is that \column interprets every element as an individual line.
Therefore, you need to surround each multi-element line in a \line{} command, e.g.,

\markup
{
    \column
    {
        \bold "Allegro"
        \line { (\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"4" #1 = \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN 100) }
        \italic "  Marcato"
    }
}

Note that \bold text and \italic text are interpreted as single items, so you don't need to \line them up.

Hi Kieren,

thank you very much for your solution, now it's perfect!
What do you think wouldn't it be better to move the "Allegro ..." a bit more left? So the two lines below could be more indented. Is it possible to move the "Allegro..." to the left?

c8^\markup {
   \column
   {
        \line { \bold "Allegro" (\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"4" #1 = \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN 100) }
	\italic "Solo Trumpet"
        \italic "  Marcato"
   } 
}
