Perhaps inserting scores in a markup will work for you?
See Notation Reference 1.8.2
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/formatting-text#music-notation-inside-markup

example:

top = \relative c'' {
\clef "treble"
a b c d
}

bottom = \relative c {
\clef "bass"
a b c d
}

\markup {
    \line {
        \score {
            {c' d' e' f' g' a' b' c' }
            \layout {}
          }
        \score {
            <<
              \new Staff { \top }
              \new Staff { \bottom }
            >>
            \layout {}
          }
      }
  }

I appreciate that. 

That has suddenly opened up a lot of other possibilities (once I discovered 
that \textLengthOn works with this construct) and may just have just solved 
another problem I had completely forgotten about.

Have a good evening
