I'm guessing this might be an XY question. What I do is to put
the solo into the instrument name. The bare bones are below,
though not an MWE because I haven't included the shortcuts I use.
Here, the solo is a bass, and they have been shrunk a little.

Aintonation = \markup {
  \score {
    \transpose af g
    \new Staff = staff <<
      \Vglobal
      \new Voice { \Acantor }
      \addlyrics \with { alignAboveContext = staff } { \Avtext }
    >>
    \layout { \plainlayout }
  }
  \hspace #5 "B."
}

  \score {
    \transpose af g
    \new ChoirStaff <<
      \new Staff <<
        \labelsoprano
        \clef treble { \Rglobal \Abarring }
        \new Voice { \accident \Asoprano }
        \addlyrics { \Artext }

      \new Staff <<

      >>

        \clef "treble_8" \Rglobal

      >>

        \override Staff.InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
        \set Staff.instrumentName = \Aintonation
        \clef bass \Rglobal
        \new Voice { \accident \Abass }
        \addlyrics { \Artext }

Cheers,
