Don't know if there's a simple example in the docs.  What I do looks 
something like this:

global = {
        \key c \major
        \time = 4/4
        s1^\markup{\bold "Allegro"}
        s1*8 (you need skips to place your things in the right place)
        % etc.
}

sax = \relative c' {
        %saxophone stuff
}

trombone = \relative c {
        % trombone stuff
}

% The score for the two voices above:

\score {
        \context StaffGroup  <<
                \global
                \context Staff <<
                \sax
                >>
                \new Staff <<
                \trombone
                >>
        >>
}

% Score for a part:

\score {
        \context Staff <<
                \global
                \sax
        >>
}


You can put all sorts of things in the 'global' block like rehearsal 
marks, too.
