 The current text spanner cannot do this, and various people have suggested
 workarounds. The main problem is that with a simple text spanner, each item
 of text is separate from the next, and the heights can vary.

 I'm a newbie to Lilypond, so I'm afraid that I can't really help by
 suggesting a syntax for a replacement that would be compatible with LP's
 design methods, but I'm sure that someone here can do this!
