Hopefully the snippet below helps.

Cheers,
Kieren.

\version "2.19.16"

\layout {
 \context {
   \type "Engraver_group"
   \name ScoreMarks
   \consists "Staff_collecting_engraver"

   \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #DOWN
   \consists "Mark_engraver"

   \override TimeSignature.stencil = #point-stencil

   \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #4
 }
 \context {
   \Score
   \remove "Mark_engraver"
   \remove "Metronome_mark_engraver"
   \accepts ScoreMarks
 }
}

global = {
