Hi Helge,

I'm not completely sure what you want to achieve, perhaps the code
below will give you some hints.

I used \Devnull for the "TACET". This will return a warning but I
think/hope it's sure to ignore it.
Several other workarounds are added, many others are thinkable.
I hope my comments in the code will give some more info.

        oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
                \null

                \center-column {
