Yes, by writing a music function in Scheme which takes as an argument
all the music expressions of individual voices, then insert skips or
duration mutlipliers according to such markers you mention.  That said,
I'm not sure how to encode such a marker in a form that should be
recognizable by the music function code that recurse into music
expression and that still makes individual voices valid music
expressions.

AFAIK there is no simpler mean to do this automatically.  It might be
nice to be able to have ways to synchronize staffs or voices (even with
heterogenous material mixing standard notation staffs and other stuff
like curves) like what you expect, like the Sheet object in OpenMusic,
but this would be much much more involved.

Good luck,
John
