Hi,

This is the same kind of request as here :
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-12/msg00395.html

It is not (currently) possible to move the "Mark_engraver" or the
"Metronome_mark_engraver" to the StaffGroup level.  I'm writing a bug
report about this.

You can add it to the first Staff of your StaffGroup .  The drawback is
that there will be no mark above the StaffGroup if this first staff is
removed (Frenched score: use of \RemoveEmptyStaves).

Cheers,
Xavier
