Thanks for the response.
Here is what I ended up with:
To get the jagged line and add short performance notes:
\override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag
{e,,2. | e''2. | << bes,2.-\markup{\box \column < {"Scatch A
string"} {"with fingernail"} {"towards soundhole"} >
\hspace #2.0 \override
#'(font-family . music) {\lookup #"noteheads-0" }
}
e\glissando bes' >> | c'2. }
I found this in the regression section

Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and

speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
