I'm not sure if that's the best approach, but you could use a pseudo tuplet
and override the text of the "tuplet number":

\once \override TupletNumber #'text = "even"
\times 4/4 { a8 g16 f }

Depending on your LilyPond version you can use \tuplet instead of \times and write TupletNumber.text

That's perfect; the key I was missing was how to make a "pseudo tuplet." This gives me exactly what I want:

\version "2.17.26"

\include "english.ly"

\relative c' {

\clef bass

\once \override TupletNumber.text = "even"

\once \override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t

\once \override TupletBracket.direction = 1

\tuplet 4/4 { a8 g16 f } g4 gf8 f r4

}

Thanks for your help!
