Not that my scheme-fu is up to it, but I do something similar with the
header layout code.
Find the function that defines "letters" as "ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".
Copy it into the appropriate place in your score (I've made mine an
include file, much easier) and change J to I.
Then carry on using box-letters, just that your custom version skips J.
The alternative is to use mark-alphabet, and after "\mark \default %I",
instead of doing \default, do "\mark 10", which explicitly jumps J.
