Hello!
I would like to create a custom \markup command that puts a letter
at a specified distance from the staff rather than from a note.

What about putting an invisible note in a separate voice, at a known

that?
Thank you.
That would be good if the markup where used once or twice in a score,
but this is for "ison" or drone notes that are used in Byzantine Chant.
They are often noted by a letter above the staff which appears only
when the note changes.This happens at irregular intervals, like chord
changes although generally less regular and less frequent. If I just
attach them to the notes, this gives an uneven appearance in places
where the changes are closer together, and I'm trying to avoid tweaking
them all with #'extra-offset until they sort of look even.
The markup I'm looking for should be something that acts visually more
or less like lilypond's chord-letters but has no midi output. I would
just use the chords if it weren't for the midi output and the fact that
I can't (afaik) visually format the chords.
