Adding text above a system

[Jesse Engle]

Hello,

I'm trying to place text above a system that is aligned with the left
margin, as in the following scan:

I tried rehearsal marks but the text tends to fall off the left
margin. I also tried attaching the markup to the first note of the
system, but while this sort of does what I want, the alignment changes
depending on where the note is drawn and I want uniformity. How can I
achieve this?...Jesse
