I'm still working on the vertical positioning, but I already made it
clear that in an independent \markup the text formatting *is* relative
to the entire page, so you can't say it isn't.

Besides, \fill-line, \wordwrap-string and \justify-string do exactly
the same as would do some new \center, \align-left and \justify
commands...

Here is the snippet I added:

Thanks Rune, by the way, for your answer;
Romel, if you need to fully right-align your text, you can use
something such as:

\markup \column {
   \fill-line { "" "segue to" }
   \fill-line { "" "something else" }
   }
