I'm trying to order, from top to bottom, a markup text ("IABACA"), a rehearsal mark, ("I"), and a tempo mark (quarter note = 200). 

I can get them in order, but the markup text collides with the "poet" text fromt the header. Can anyone help me out here?

The collision with the header can be fixed by some paper settings.

Only the first one is relevant to this example.

But, these other two come in handy, so here they are for your enjoyment. 

 

\version "2.19.15"

\paper {

    % First page spacing after header

    markup-system-spacing #'padding = #6

    % Subsequent page spacing after header

    top-system-spacing #'minimum-distance = #18

    % Spacing in between systems

    system-system-spacing #'minimum-distance = #12

}

\header {

  title = \markup { \fontsize #-0.5 \bold "Something"}

  poet = "Another thing"

}

\relative c' {

    \clef treble

    \key e \minor

    \time 3/4

    \tempo 4 = 200 

    \set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-alphabet

    % Introduction

    \mark #9

    \once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = #2000

    \once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(-4 . 3)

    r8^\markup { IABACA } b' d g b d |

    c8 b a g a g |

    c8 b a g a g |

    c8 b a g a g |

    c8 b a g a g |

}
