I wanted to use this when I was first beginning in Lilypond, but I pretty much only knew about the stuff in the tutorial. I tried using ^#"//", but in the end I gave up and wrote it in by hand. Now I use breath marks and fermatas in an attempt to mimic it -- not perfect, but it's ok. If I wanted to use it now, I'd try using a bold, smaller-font "//" and use #'extra-offset to lower it until it covers those lines in the staff. Consult the "fine tuning a piece" portion of the tutorial for more details on this.
