Just a follow up: I've been using this to achieve the above effect and it works
like a charm.
\version "2.14.0"
bar = {
\override TextScript #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
\override TextScript #'Y-offset = #0
\override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
\override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
\override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
\override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t
}
<<
\new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 \override BarLine
#'bar-extent = #'(-1.5 . 1.5) }
\repeat unfold 6 \relative c' { \bar c-\markup { i } c-\markup { hope }
c-\markup { this } c-\markup { works } }
\new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 \override BarLine
#'bar-extent = #'(-1.5 . 1.5) }
\repeat unfold 8 \relative c' { \bar c-\markup { o } c-\markup { ooooooo }
c-\markup { o } }

I'll throw it up on the LSR.
