Hi Bart,

the point is not that "piece" is aligned to the highest object, but
the whole scoreTitleMarkup.
See the ouput from:

\version "2.18.0"

\paper {
    indent = 0
    scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { \box \scoreTitleMarkup }
}

m = \new Staff { c'1 }

\score { \m \header { piece = "N°.19." } }

\score { \transpose c c'''\m \header { piece = "N°.20." } }

Where the scoreTitleMarkup is put in a box.

I think using "piece=..." is not the appropiate thing for your usecase.

Why not use RehearsalMark?
Something like:

\version "2.18.0"

exercise =
#(define-music-function (parser location mrk mus)(markup? ly:music?)
#{
    \new Staff {
        \override Score.RehearsalMark.padding = #3
        \mark \markup { \fontsize #-2 #mrk }
        #mus
    }
#})

m = { c'1 }

\exercise "N°.19." \m

\exercise "N°.20." \transpose c c'' \m


HTH,
  Harm
