Hi steve,

try:

\version "2.17.20"

tocInsert =
#(define-music-function (parser location text) (markup?)
   (add-toc-item! 'tocInsertMarkup text))

\paper {
  tocInsertMarkup = \markup
            \line { \fromproperty #'toc:text  }
}

\book {
  \markuplist \table-of-contents
  \tocInsert \markup \fill-line { "Preface-one" "I" }
  \tocInsert \markup \fill-line { "Text-two" "I" }


  \tocItem Allegro
  \markup \null

  \pageBreak

  \tocInsert \markup \fill-line { "Text-three" "II" }
  \tocItem Largo
  \markup \null
}


HTH,
