I don't know if it's of much use for your purposes, but you can use a 
notehead glyph as a rehearsal mark, which positions it directly on the 
barline:

\relative c' {
    d4 d d d
    \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -5.9)
    \mark\markup\normalsize { \musicglyph #"noteheads.s2" } d
}
