How about:

\version "2.14.2"

fN =
#(define-music-function (parser location fretp) (string?)
  (let ((m (make-music 'TextScriptEvent 'text fretp)))
        (set! (ly:music-property m 'tweaks)
                (acons 'staff-padding 4 (ly:music-property m 'tweaks)))
  m))

%% end of function fN

\relative c' {
c4-\fN "8" d e c'-\fN "10"
}
