Rhythmic Excerpts with Breath Marks Above the Staff

[Reilly Farrell]

I'm seeking a way to create rhythmic examples, as in the sample code below, while positioning breath marks above the rhythmic staff rather than along the line. I thought ^\breathe might do the trick at first, but no dice. Any advice on how to properly accomplish this is deeply appreciated. Thank you!

\version "2.18.2" \include "../../../lily-settings.ily" stuff = { \time 4/4 } \new RhythmicStaff { c4 c4 c4 c4\breathe | c2 c2\breathe | c1 | } \include \compileRhythmSyllablesPath \end{lilypond}
