This may work for you as well:
\version "2.12.3"

notHead = {
   \once \override Stem #'stencil = ##f
   \once \override Beam #'stencil = ##f
}

{
   \clef bass
   \time 2/4
   <d h>8 r <c c'> <<
      {r}\new Voice \with { \consists "Balloon_engraver" } {
         \balloonLengthOff
         \override BalloonTextItem #'padding = #'2.0
         s16 \notHead < fis-\balloonText #'(0 . 0) \markup { "" } >
      }
   >>
}
